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 4,441,031, 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 | 4,441,031 | |
| -1 | -4,441,031 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,441,031.
Example:
1 x 4,441,031 = 4,441,031
and
-1 x -4,441,031 = 4,441,031
Notice both answers equal 4,441,031
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,441,031 and divide it by 2:
4,441,031 ÷ 2 = 2,220,515.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,220,515.5 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 | 4,441,031 | |
| -1 | -4,441,031 |
Now, we try dividing 4,441,031 by 3:
4,441,031 ÷ 3 = 1,480,343.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,480,343.6667 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 | 4,441,031 | |
| -1 | -4,441,031 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,441,031 ÷ 4 = 1,110,257.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,110,257.75 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 | 4,441,031 | |
| -1 | 4,441,031 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 131 | 167 | 203 | 917 | 1,169 | 3,799 | 4,843 | 21,877 | 26,593 | 33,901 | 153,139 | 634,433 | 4,441,031 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -131 | -167 | -203 | -917 | -1,169 | -3,799 | -4,843 | -21,877 | -26,593 | -33,901 | -153,139 | -634,433 | -4,441,031 |
