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 4,454,387, 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 | 4,454,387 | |
| -1 | -4,454,387 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,454,387.
Example:
1 x 4,454,387 = 4,454,387
and
-1 x -4,454,387 = 4,454,387
Notice both answers equal 4,454,387
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,454,387 and divide it by 2:
4,454,387 ÷ 2 = 2,227,193.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,227,193.5 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 | 4,454,387 | |
| -1 | -4,454,387 |
Now, we try dividing 4,454,387 by 3:
4,454,387 ÷ 3 = 1,484,795.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,484,795.6667 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 | 4,454,387 | |
| -1 | -4,454,387 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,454,387 ÷ 4 = 1,113,596.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,113,596.75 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 | 4,454,387 | |
| -1 | 4,454,387 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 73 | 161 | 379 | 511 | 1,679 | 2,653 | 8,717 | 11,753 | 27,667 | 61,019 | 193,669 | 636,341 | 4,454,387 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -73 | -161 | -379 | -511 | -1,679 | -2,653 | -8,717 | -11,753 | -27,667 | -61,019 | -193,669 | -636,341 | -4,454,387 |
