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 4,417,655, 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 | 4,417,655 | |
| -1 | -4,417,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,417,655.
Example:
1 x 4,417,655 = 4,417,655
and
-1 x -4,417,655 = 4,417,655
Notice both answers equal 4,417,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,417,655 and divide it by 2:
4,417,655 ÷ 2 = 2,208,827.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,208,827.5 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 | 4,417,655 | |
| -1 | -4,417,655 |
Now, we try dividing 4,417,655 by 3:
4,417,655 ÷ 3 = 1,472,551.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,472,551.6667 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 | 4,417,655 | |
| -1 | -4,417,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,417,655 ÷ 4 = 1,104,413.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,104,413.75 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 | 4,417,655 | |
| -1 | 4,417,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 2,591 | 12,955 | 28,501 | 80,321 | 142,505 | 401,605 | 883,531 | 4,417,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -2,591 | -12,955 | -28,501 | -80,321 | -142,505 | -401,605 | -883,531 | -4,417,655 |
