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 4,453,553, 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 | 4,453,553 | |
| -1 | -4,453,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,453,553.
Example:
1 x 4,453,553 = 4,453,553
and
-1 x -4,453,553 = 4,453,553
Notice both answers equal 4,453,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,453,553 and divide it by 2:
4,453,553 ÷ 2 = 2,226,776.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,226,776.5 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 | 4,453,553 | |
| -1 | -4,453,553 |
Now, we try dividing 4,453,553 by 3:
4,453,553 ÷ 3 = 1,484,517.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,484,517.6667 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 | 4,453,553 | |
| -1 | -4,453,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,453,553 ÷ 4 = 1,113,388.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,113,388.25 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 | 4,453,553 | |
| -1 | 4,453,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 43 | 257 | 403 | 559 | 1,333 | 3,341 | 7,967 | 11,051 | 17,329 | 103,571 | 143,663 | 342,581 | 4,453,553 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -43 | -257 | -403 | -559 | -1,333 | -3,341 | -7,967 | -11,051 | -17,329 | -103,571 | -143,663 | -342,581 | -4,453,553 |
