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 44,014,141, 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 | 44,014,141 | |
| -1 | -44,014,141 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,014,141.
Example:
1 x 44,014,141 = 44,014,141
and
-1 x -44,014,141 = 44,014,141
Notice both answers equal 44,014,141
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,014,141 and divide it by 2:
44,014,141 ÷ 2 = 22,007,070.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,007,070.5 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 | 44,014,141 | |
| -1 | -44,014,141 |
Now, we try dividing 44,014,141 by 3:
44,014,141 ÷ 3 = 14,671,380.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,671,380.3333 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 | 44,014,141 | |
| -1 | -44,014,141 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,014,141 ÷ 4 = 11,003,535.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,003,535.25 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 | 44,014,141 | |
| -1 | 44,014,141 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 173 | 283 | 899 | 5,017 | 5,363 | 8,207 | 8,773 | 48,959 | 155,527 | 254,417 | 1,419,811 | 1,517,729 | 44,014,141 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -173 | -283 | -899 | -5,017 | -5,363 | -8,207 | -8,773 | -48,959 | -155,527 | -254,417 | -1,419,811 | -1,517,729 | -44,014,141 |
