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 4,446,965, 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 | 4,446,965 | |
| -1 | -4,446,965 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,446,965.
Example:
1 x 4,446,965 = 4,446,965
and
-1 x -4,446,965 = 4,446,965
Notice both answers equal 4,446,965
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,446,965 and divide it by 2:
4,446,965 ÷ 2 = 2,223,482.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,223,482.5 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 | 4,446,965 | |
| -1 | -4,446,965 |
Now, we try dividing 4,446,965 by 3:
4,446,965 ÷ 3 = 1,482,321.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,482,321.6667 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 | 4,446,965 | |
| -1 | -4,446,965 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,446,965 ÷ 4 = 1,111,741.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,111,741.25 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 | 4,446,965 | |
| -1 | 4,446,965 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 97 | 173 | 265 | 485 | 865 | 5,141 | 9,169 | 16,781 | 25,705 | 45,845 | 83,905 | 889,393 | 4,446,965 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -97 | -173 | -265 | -485 | -865 | -5,141 | -9,169 | -16,781 | -25,705 | -45,845 | -83,905 | -889,393 | -4,446,965 |
