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 44,026,423, 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 | 44,026,423 | |
| -1 | -44,026,423 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,026,423.
Example:
1 x 44,026,423 = 44,026,423
and
-1 x -44,026,423 = 44,026,423
Notice both answers equal 44,026,423
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,026,423 and divide it by 2:
44,026,423 ÷ 2 = 22,013,211.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,013,211.5 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 | 44,026,423 | |
| -1 | -44,026,423 |
Now, we try dividing 44,026,423 by 3:
44,026,423 ÷ 3 = 14,675,474.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,675,474.3333 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 | 44,026,423 | |
| -1 | -44,026,423 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,026,423 ÷ 4 = 11,006,605.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,006,605.75 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 | 44,026,423 | |
| -1 | 44,026,423 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 103 | 227 | 269 | 721 | 1,589 | 1,883 | 23,381 | 27,707 | 61,063 | 163,667 | 193,949 | 427,441 | 6,289,489 | 44,026,423 |
| -1 | -7 | -103 | -227 | -269 | -721 | -1,589 | -1,883 | -23,381 | -27,707 | -61,063 | -163,667 | -193,949 | -427,441 | -6,289,489 | -44,026,423 |
