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 4,460,621, 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 | 4,460,621 | |
| -1 | -4,460,621 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,460,621.
Example:
1 x 4,460,621 = 4,460,621
and
-1 x -4,460,621 = 4,460,621
Notice both answers equal 4,460,621
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,460,621 and divide it by 2:
4,460,621 ÷ 2 = 2,230,310.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,230,310.5 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 | 4,460,621 | |
| -1 | -4,460,621 |
Now, we try dividing 4,460,621 by 3:
4,460,621 ÷ 3 = 1,486,873.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,486,873.6667 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 | 4,460,621 | |
| -1 | -4,460,621 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,460,621 ÷ 4 = 1,115,155.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,115,155.25 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 | 4,460,621 | |
| -1 | 4,460,621 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 103 | 127 | 341 | 1,133 | 1,397 | 3,193 | 3,937 | 13,081 | 35,123 | 43,307 | 143,891 | 405,511 | 4,460,621 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -103 | -127 | -341 | -1,133 | -1,397 | -3,193 | -3,937 | -13,081 | -35,123 | -43,307 | -143,891 | -405,511 | -4,460,621 |
