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 4,451,255, 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 | 4,451,255 | |
| -1 | -4,451,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,451,255.
Example:
1 x 4,451,255 = 4,451,255
and
-1 x -4,451,255 = 4,451,255
Notice both answers equal 4,451,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,451,255 and divide it by 2:
4,451,255 ÷ 2 = 2,225,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,225,627.5 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 | 4,451,255 | |
| -1 | -4,451,255 |
Now, we try dividing 4,451,255 by 3:
4,451,255 ÷ 3 = 1,483,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,483,751.6667 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 | 4,451,255 | |
| -1 | -4,451,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,451,255 ÷ 4 = 1,112,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,112,813.75 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 | 4,451,255 | |
| -1 | 4,451,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 79 | 191 | 295 | 395 | 955 | 4,661 | 11,269 | 15,089 | 23,305 | 56,345 | 75,445 | 890,251 | 4,451,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -79 | -191 | -295 | -395 | -955 | -4,661 | -11,269 | -15,089 | -23,305 | -56,345 | -75,445 | -890,251 | -4,451,255 |
