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 4,453,999, 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 | 4,453,999 | |
| -1 | -4,453,999 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,453,999.
Example:
1 x 4,453,999 = 4,453,999
and
-1 x -4,453,999 = 4,453,999
Notice both answers equal 4,453,999
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,453,999 and divide it by 2:
4,453,999 ÷ 2 = 2,226,999.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,226,999.5 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 | 4,453,999 | |
| -1 | -4,453,999 |
Now, we try dividing 4,453,999 by 3:
4,453,999 ÷ 3 = 1,484,666.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,484,666.3333 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 | 4,453,999 | |
| -1 | -4,453,999 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,453,999 ÷ 4 = 1,113,499.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,113,499.75 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 | 4,453,999 | |
| -1 | 4,453,999 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 101 | 209 | 211 | 1,111 | 1,919 | 2,321 | 4,009 | 21,109 | 21,311 | 44,099 | 234,421 | 404,909 | 4,453,999 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -101 | -209 | -211 | -1,111 | -1,919 | -2,321 | -4,009 | -21,109 | -21,311 | -44,099 | -234,421 | -404,909 | -4,453,999 |
