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 4,502,449, 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 | 4,502,449 | |
| -1 | -4,502,449 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 4,502,449.
Example:
1 x 4,502,449 = 4,502,449
and
-1 x -4,502,449 = 4,502,449
Notice both answers equal 4,502,449
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 4,502,449 and divide it by 2:
4,502,449 ÷ 2 = 2,251,224.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,251,224.5 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 | 4,502,449 | |
| -1 | -4,502,449 |
Now, we try dividing 4,502,449 by 3:
4,502,449 ÷ 3 = 1,500,816.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,500,816.3333 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 | 4,502,449 | |
| -1 | -4,502,449 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
4,502,449 ÷ 4 = 1,125,612.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,125,612.25 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 | 4,502,449 | |
| -1 | 4,502,449 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 97 | 133 | 349 | 679 | 1,843 | 2,443 | 6,631 | 12,901 | 33,853 | 46,417 | 236,971 | 643,207 | 4,502,449 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -97 | -133 | -349 | -679 | -1,843 | -2,443 | -6,631 | -12,901 | -33,853 | -46,417 | -236,971 | -643,207 | -4,502,449 |
