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 44,053,555, 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 | 44,053,555 | |
| -1 | -44,053,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,053,555.
Example:
1 x 44,053,555 = 44,053,555
and
-1 x -44,053,555 = 44,053,555
Notice both answers equal 44,053,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,053,555 and divide it by 2:
44,053,555 ÷ 2 = 22,026,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,026,777.5 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 | 44,053,555 | |
| -1 | -44,053,555 |
Now, we try dividing 44,053,555 by 3:
44,053,555 ÷ 3 = 14,684,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,684,518.3333 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 | 44,053,555 | |
| -1 | -44,053,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,053,555 ÷ 4 = 11,013,388.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,013,388.75 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 | 44,053,555 | |
| -1 | 44,053,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 96,821 | 484,105 | 677,747 | 1,258,673 | 3,388,735 | 6,293,365 | 8,810,711 | 44,053,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -96,821 | -484,105 | -677,747 | -1,258,673 | -3,388,735 | -6,293,365 | -8,810,711 | -44,053,555 |
