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 4,444,715, 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 | 4,444,715 | |
| -1 | -4,444,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,444,715.
Example:
1 x 4,444,715 = 4,444,715
and
-1 x -4,444,715 = 4,444,715
Notice both answers equal 4,444,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,444,715 and divide it by 2:
4,444,715 ÷ 2 = 2,222,357.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,222,357.5 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 | 4,444,715 | |
| -1 | -4,444,715 |
Now, we try dividing 4,444,715 by 3:
4,444,715 ÷ 3 = 1,481,571.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,481,571.6667 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 | 4,444,715 | |
| -1 | -4,444,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,444,715 ÷ 4 = 1,111,178.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,111,178.75 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 | 4,444,715 | |
| -1 | 4,444,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 211 | 383 | 1,055 | 1,915 | 2,321 | 4,213 | 11,605 | 21,065 | 80,813 | 404,065 | 888,943 | 4,444,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -211 | -383 | -1,055 | -1,915 | -2,321 | -4,213 | -11,605 | -21,065 | -80,813 | -404,065 | -888,943 | -4,444,715 |
