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 4,416,665, 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 | 4,416,665 | |
| -1 | -4,416,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,416,665.
Example:
1 x 4,416,665 = 4,416,665
and
-1 x -4,416,665 = 4,416,665
Notice both answers equal 4,416,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,416,665 and divide it by 2:
4,416,665 ÷ 2 = 2,208,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,208,332.5 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 | 4,416,665 | |
| -1 | -4,416,665 |
Now, we try dividing 4,416,665 by 3:
4,416,665 ÷ 3 = 1,472,221.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,472,221.6667 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 | 4,416,665 | |
| -1 | -4,416,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,416,665 ÷ 4 = 1,104,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,104,166.25 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 | 4,416,665 | |
| -1 | 4,416,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 131 | 613 | 655 | 1,441 | 3,065 | 6,743 | 7,205 | 33,715 | 80,303 | 401,515 | 883,333 | 4,416,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -131 | -613 | -655 | -1,441 | -3,065 | -6,743 | -7,205 | -33,715 | -80,303 | -401,515 | -883,333 | -4,416,665 |
