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 4,466,581, 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 | 4,466,581 | |
| -1 | -4,466,581 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,466,581.
Example:
1 x 4,466,581 = 4,466,581
and
-1 x -4,466,581 = 4,466,581
Notice both answers equal 4,466,581
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,466,581 and divide it by 2:
4,466,581 ÷ 2 = 2,233,290.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,233,290.5 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 | 4,466,581 | |
| -1 | -4,466,581 |
Now, we try dividing 4,466,581 by 3:
4,466,581 ÷ 3 = 1,488,860.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,488,860.3333 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 | 4,466,581 | |
| -1 | -4,466,581 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,466,581 ÷ 4 = 1,116,645.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,116,645.25 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 | 4,466,581 | |
| -1 | 4,466,581 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 79 | 197 | 287 | 553 | 1,379 | 3,239 | 8,077 | 15,563 | 22,673 | 56,539 | 108,941 | 638,083 | 4,466,581 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -79 | -197 | -287 | -553 | -1,379 | -3,239 | -8,077 | -15,563 | -22,673 | -56,539 | -108,941 | -638,083 | -4,466,581 |
