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 44,024,101, 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 | 44,024,101 | |
| -1 | -44,024,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,024,101.
Example:
1 x 44,024,101 = 44,024,101
and
-1 x -44,024,101 = 44,024,101
Notice both answers equal 44,024,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,024,101 and divide it by 2:
44,024,101 ÷ 2 = 22,012,050.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,012,050.5 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 | 44,024,101 | |
| -1 | -44,024,101 |
Now, we try dividing 44,024,101 by 3:
44,024,101 ÷ 3 = 14,674,700.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,674,700.3333 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 | 44,024,101 | |
| -1 | -44,024,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,024,101 ÷ 4 = 11,006,025.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,006,025.25 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 | 44,024,101 | |
| -1 | 44,024,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 47 | 187 | 517 | 799 | 5,009 | 8,789 | 55,099 | 85,153 | 235,423 | 936,683 | 2,589,653 | 4,002,191 | 44,024,101 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -47 | -187 | -517 | -799 | -5,009 | -8,789 | -55,099 | -85,153 | -235,423 | -936,683 | -2,589,653 | -4,002,191 | -44,024,101 |
