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 44,021,345, 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 | 44,021,345 | |
| -1 | -44,021,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,021,345.
Example:
1 x 44,021,345 = 44,021,345
and
-1 x -44,021,345 = 44,021,345
Notice both answers equal 44,021,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,021,345 and divide it by 2:
44,021,345 ÷ 2 = 22,010,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,010,672.5 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 | 44,021,345 | |
| -1 | -44,021,345 |
Now, we try dividing 44,021,345 by 3:
44,021,345 ÷ 3 = 14,673,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,673,781.6667 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 | 44,021,345 | |
| -1 | -44,021,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,021,345 ÷ 4 = 11,005,336.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,005,336.25 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 | 44,021,345 | |
| -1 | 44,021,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 331 | 335 | 397 | 1,655 | 1,985 | 22,177 | 26,599 | 110,885 | 131,407 | 132,995 | 657,035 | 8,804,269 | 44,021,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -331 | -335 | -397 | -1,655 | -1,985 | -22,177 | -26,599 | -110,885 | -131,407 | -132,995 | -657,035 | -8,804,269 | -44,021,345 |
