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 4,406,995, 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 | 4,406,995 | |
| -1 | -4,406,995 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,406,995.
Example:
1 x 4,406,995 = 4,406,995
and
-1 x -4,406,995 = 4,406,995
Notice both answers equal 4,406,995
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,406,995 and divide it by 2:
4,406,995 ÷ 2 = 2,203,497.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,203,497.5 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 | 4,406,995 | |
| -1 | -4,406,995 |
Now, we try dividing 4,406,995 by 3:
4,406,995 ÷ 3 = 1,468,998.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,468,998.3333 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 | 4,406,995 | |
| -1 | -4,406,995 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,406,995 ÷ 4 = 1,101,748.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,101,748.75 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 | 4,406,995 | |
| -1 | 4,406,995 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 139 | 373 | 695 | 1,865 | 2,363 | 6,341 | 11,815 | 31,705 | 51,847 | 259,235 | 881,399 | 4,406,995 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -139 | -373 | -695 | -1,865 | -2,363 | -6,341 | -11,815 | -31,705 | -51,847 | -259,235 | -881,399 | -4,406,995 |
