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 4,411,687, 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 | 4,411,687 | |
| -1 | -4,411,687 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,411,687.
Example:
1 x 4,411,687 = 4,411,687
and
-1 x -4,411,687 = 4,411,687
Notice both answers equal 4,411,687
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,411,687 and divide it by 2:
4,411,687 ÷ 2 = 2,205,843.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,205,843.5 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 | 4,411,687 | |
| -1 | -4,411,687 |
Now, we try dividing 4,411,687 by 3:
4,411,687 ÷ 3 = 1,470,562.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,470,562.3333 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 | 4,411,687 | |
| -1 | -4,411,687 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,411,687 ÷ 4 = 1,102,921.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,102,921.75 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 | 4,411,687 | |
| -1 | 4,411,687 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 131 | 283 | 917 | 1,981 | 2,227 | 4,811 | 15,589 | 33,677 | 37,073 | 259,511 | 630,241 | 4,411,687 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -131 | -283 | -917 | -1,981 | -2,227 | -4,811 | -15,589 | -33,677 | -37,073 | -259,511 | -630,241 | -4,411,687 |
