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 4,420,031, 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 | 4,420,031 | |
| -1 | -4,420,031 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,420,031.
Example:
1 x 4,420,031 = 4,420,031
and
-1 x -4,420,031 = 4,420,031
Notice both answers equal 4,420,031
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,420,031 and divide it by 2:
4,420,031 ÷ 2 = 2,210,015.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,210,015.5 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 | 4,420,031 | |
| -1 | -4,420,031 |
Now, we try dividing 4,420,031 by 3:
4,420,031 ÷ 3 = 1,473,343.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,473,343.6667 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 | 4,420,031 | |
| -1 | -4,420,031 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,420,031 ÷ 4 = 1,105,007.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,105,007.75 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 | 4,420,031 | |
| -1 | 4,420,031 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 137 | 419 | 959 | 1,507 | 2,933 | 4,609 | 10,549 | 32,263 | 57,403 | 401,821 | 631,433 | 4,420,031 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -137 | -419 | -959 | -1,507 | -2,933 | -4,609 | -10,549 | -32,263 | -57,403 | -401,821 | -631,433 | -4,420,031 |
