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 44,014,139, 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 | 44,014,139 | |
| -1 | -44,014,139 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,014,139.
Example:
1 x 44,014,139 = 44,014,139
and
-1 x -44,014,139 = 44,014,139
Notice both answers equal 44,014,139
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,014,139 and divide it by 2:
44,014,139 ÷ 2 = 22,007,069.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,007,069.5 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 | 44,014,139 | |
| -1 | -44,014,139 |
Now, we try dividing 44,014,139 by 3:
44,014,139 ÷ 3 = 14,671,379.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,671,379.6667 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 | 44,014,139 | |
| -1 | -44,014,139 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,014,139 ÷ 4 = 11,003,534.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,003,534.75 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 | 44,014,139 | |
| -1 | 44,014,139 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 79 | 221 | 1,027 | 1,343 | 2,521 | 17,459 | 32,773 | 42,857 | 199,159 | 557,141 | 2,589,067 | 3,385,703 | 44,014,139 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -79 | -221 | -1,027 | -1,343 | -2,521 | -17,459 | -32,773 | -42,857 | -199,159 | -557,141 | -2,589,067 | -3,385,703 | -44,014,139 |
