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 4,418,323, 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 | 4,418,323 | |
| -1 | -4,418,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,418,323.
Example:
1 x 4,418,323 = 4,418,323
and
-1 x -4,418,323 = 4,418,323
Notice both answers equal 4,418,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,418,323 and divide it by 2:
4,418,323 ÷ 2 = 2,209,161.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,209,161.5 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 | 4,418,323 | |
| -1 | -4,418,323 |
Now, we try dividing 4,418,323 by 3:
4,418,323 ÷ 3 = 1,472,774.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,472,774.3333 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 | 4,418,323 | |
| -1 | -4,418,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,418,323 ÷ 4 = 1,104,580.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,104,580.75 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 | 4,418,323 | |
| -1 | 4,418,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 2,093 | 2,111 | 14,777 | 27,443 | 48,553 | 192,101 | 339,871 | 631,189 | 4,418,323 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -2,093 | -2,111 | -14,777 | -27,443 | -48,553 | -192,101 | -339,871 | -631,189 | -4,418,323 |
