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 4,454,023, 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 | 4,454,023 | |
| -1 | -4,454,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,454,023.
Example:
1 x 4,454,023 = 4,454,023
and
-1 x -4,454,023 = 4,454,023
Notice both answers equal 4,454,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,454,023 and divide it by 2:
4,454,023 ÷ 2 = 2,227,011.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,227,011.5 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 | 4,454,023 | |
| -1 | -4,454,023 |
Now, we try dividing 4,454,023 by 3:
4,454,023 ÷ 3 = 1,484,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,484,674.3333 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 | 4,454,023 | |
| -1 | -4,454,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,454,023 ÷ 4 = 1,113,505.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,113,505.75 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 | 4,454,023 | |
| -1 | 4,454,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 37 | 203 | 259 | 593 | 1,073 | 4,151 | 7,511 | 17,197 | 21,941 | 120,379 | 153,587 | 636,289 | 4,454,023 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -37 | -203 | -259 | -593 | -1,073 | -4,151 | -7,511 | -17,197 | -21,941 | -120,379 | -153,587 | -636,289 | -4,454,023 |
