Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 4,402,585, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 4,402,585 | |
| -1 | -4,402,585 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,402,585.
Example:
1 x 4,402,585 = 4,402,585
and
-1 x -4,402,585 = 4,402,585
Notice both answers equal 4,402,585
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,402,585 and divide it by 2:
4,402,585 ÷ 2 = 2,201,292.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,201,292.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 4,402,585 | |
| -1 | -4,402,585 |
Now, we try dividing 4,402,585 by 3:
4,402,585 ÷ 3 = 1,467,528.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,467,528.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 4,402,585 | |
| -1 | -4,402,585 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,402,585 ÷ 4 = 1,100,646.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,100,646.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 4,402,585 | |
| -1 | 4,402,585 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 55 | 95 | 121 | 209 | 383 | 605 | 1,045 | 1,915 | 2,299 | 4,213 | 7,277 | 11,495 | 21,065 | 36,385 | 46,343 | 80,047 | 231,715 | 400,235 | 880,517 | 4,402,585 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -55 | -95 | -121 | -209 | -383 | -605 | -1,045 | -1,915 | -2,299 | -4,213 | -7,277 | -11,495 | -21,065 | -36,385 | -46,343 | -80,047 | -231,715 | -400,235 | -880,517 | -4,402,585 |
