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 4,476,989, 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 | 4,476,989 | |
| -1 | -4,476,989 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,476,989.
Example:
1 x 4,476,989 = 4,476,989
and
-1 x -4,476,989 = 4,476,989
Notice both answers equal 4,476,989
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,476,989 and divide it by 2:
4,476,989 ÷ 2 = 2,238,494.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,238,494.5 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 | 4,476,989 | |
| -1 | -4,476,989 |
Now, we try dividing 4,476,989 by 3:
4,476,989 ÷ 3 = 1,492,329.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,492,329.6667 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 | 4,476,989 | |
| -1 | -4,476,989 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,476,989 ÷ 4 = 1,119,247.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,119,247.25 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 | 4,476,989 | |
| -1 | 4,476,989 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 31 | 209 | 341 | 589 | 691 | 6,479 | 7,601 | 13,129 | 21,421 | 144,419 | 235,631 | 406,999 | 4,476,989 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -31 | -209 | -341 | -589 | -691 | -6,479 | -7,601 | -13,129 | -21,421 | -144,419 | -235,631 | -406,999 | -4,476,989 |
