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 44,006,039, 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 | 44,006,039 | |
| -1 | -44,006,039 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,006,039.
Example:
1 x 44,006,039 = 44,006,039
and
-1 x -44,006,039 = 44,006,039
Notice both answers equal 44,006,039
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,006,039 and divide it by 2:
44,006,039 ÷ 2 = 22,003,019.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,003,019.5 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 | 44,006,039 | |
| -1 | -44,006,039 |
Now, we try dividing 44,006,039 by 3:
44,006,039 ÷ 3 = 14,668,679.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,668,679.6667 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 | 44,006,039 | |
| -1 | -44,006,039 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,006,039 ÷ 4 = 11,001,509.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,001,509.75 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 | 44,006,039 | |
| -1 | 44,006,039 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 353 | 1,619 | 2,471 | 3,883 | 11,333 | 17,809 | 27,181 | 124,663 | 571,507 | 4,000,549 | 6,286,577 | 44,006,039 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -353 | -1,619 | -2,471 | -3,883 | -11,333 | -17,809 | -27,181 | -124,663 | -571,507 | -4,000,549 | -6,286,577 | -44,006,039 |
