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 4,480,931, 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 | 4,480,931 | |
| -1 | -4,480,931 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,480,931.
Example:
1 x 4,480,931 = 4,480,931
and
-1 x -4,480,931 = 4,480,931
Notice both answers equal 4,480,931
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,480,931 and divide it by 2:
4,480,931 ÷ 2 = 2,240,465.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,240,465.5 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 | 4,480,931 | |
| -1 | -4,480,931 |
Now, we try dividing 4,480,931 by 3:
4,480,931 ÷ 3 = 1,493,643.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,493,643.6667 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 | 4,480,931 | |
| -1 | -4,480,931 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,480,931 ÷ 4 = 1,120,232.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,120,232.75 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 | 4,480,931 | |
| -1 | 4,480,931 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 287 | 533 | 1,201 | 3,731 | 8,407 | 15,613 | 49,241 | 109,291 | 344,687 | 640,133 | 4,480,931 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -287 | -533 | -1,201 | -3,731 | -8,407 | -15,613 | -49,241 | -109,291 | -344,687 | -640,133 | -4,480,931 |
