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 4,444,315, 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 | 4,444,315 | |
| -1 | -4,444,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,444,315.
Example:
1 x 4,444,315 = 4,444,315
and
-1 x -4,444,315 = 4,444,315
Notice both answers equal 4,444,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,444,315 and divide it by 2:
4,444,315 ÷ 2 = 2,222,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,222,157.5 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 | 4,444,315 | |
| -1 | -4,444,315 |
Now, we try dividing 4,444,315 by 3:
4,444,315 ÷ 3 = 1,481,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,481,438.3333 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 | 4,444,315 | |
| -1 | -4,444,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,444,315 ÷ 4 = 1,111,078.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,111,078.75 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 | 4,444,315 | |
| -1 | 4,444,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 53 | 155 | 265 | 541 | 1,643 | 2,705 | 8,215 | 16,771 | 28,673 | 83,855 | 143,365 | 888,863 | 4,444,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -53 | -155 | -265 | -541 | -1,643 | -2,705 | -8,215 | -16,771 | -28,673 | -83,855 | -143,365 | -888,863 | -4,444,315 |
