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 44,000,437, 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 | 44,000,437 | |
| -1 | -44,000,437 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,000,437.
Example:
1 x 44,000,437 = 44,000,437
and
-1 x -44,000,437 = 44,000,437
Notice both answers equal 44,000,437
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,000,437 and divide it by 2:
44,000,437 ÷ 2 = 22,000,218.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,000,218.5 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 | 44,000,437 | |
| -1 | -44,000,437 |
Now, we try dividing 44,000,437 by 3:
44,000,437 ÷ 3 = 14,666,812.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,666,812.3333 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 | 44,000,437 | |
| -1 | -44,000,437 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,000,437 ÷ 4 = 11,000,109.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,000,109.25 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 | 44,000,437 | |
| -1 | 44,000,437 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 37 | 221 | 481 | 629 | 5,381 | 8,177 | 69,953 | 91,477 | 199,097 | 1,189,201 | 2,588,261 | 3,384,649 | 44,000,437 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -37 | -221 | -481 | -629 | -5,381 | -8,177 | -69,953 | -91,477 | -199,097 | -1,189,201 | -2,588,261 | -3,384,649 | -44,000,437 |
