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 4,402,915, 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 | 4,402,915 | |
| -1 | -4,402,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,402,915.
Example:
1 x 4,402,915 = 4,402,915
and
-1 x -4,402,915 = 4,402,915
Notice both answers equal 4,402,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,402,915 and divide it by 2:
4,402,915 ÷ 2 = 2,201,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,201,457.5 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 | 4,402,915 | |
| -1 | -4,402,915 |
Now, we try dividing 4,402,915 by 3:
4,402,915 ÷ 3 = 1,467,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,467,638.3333 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 | 4,402,915 | |
| -1 | -4,402,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,402,915 ÷ 4 = 1,100,728.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,100,728.75 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 | 4,402,915 | |
| -1 | 4,402,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 277 | 289 | 935 | 1,385 | 1,445 | 3,047 | 3,179 | 4,709 | 15,235 | 15,895 | 23,545 | 51,799 | 80,053 | 258,995 | 400,265 | 880,583 | 4,402,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -277 | -289 | -935 | -1,385 | -1,445 | -3,047 | -3,179 | -4,709 | -15,235 | -15,895 | -23,545 | -51,799 | -80,053 | -258,995 | -400,265 | -880,583 | -4,402,915 |
