How do I find the factor combinations of the number 44,022,139?

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 44,022,139, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 44,022,139
-1 -44,022,139

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,022,139.

Example:
1 x 44,022,139 = 44,022,139
and
-1 x -44,022,139 = 44,022,139
Notice both answers equal 44,022,139

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,022,139 and divide it by 2:

44,022,139 ÷ 2 = 22,011,069.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,011,069.5 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 44,022,139
-1 -44,022,139

Now, we try dividing 44,022,139 by 3:

44,022,139 ÷ 3 = 14,674,046.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,674,046.3333 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 44,022,139
-1 -44,022,139

Let's try dividing by 4:

44,022,139 ÷ 4 = 11,005,534.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,005,534.75 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 44,022,139
-1 44,022,139
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

173149732173975111,5192,2632,7793,57712,30715,84119,45328,98186,149110,887202,867603,043898,4111,420,0696,288,87744,022,139
