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 44,055,515, 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 | 44,055,515 | |
| -1 | -44,055,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,055,515.
Example:
1 x 44,055,515 = 44,055,515
and
-1 x -44,055,515 = 44,055,515
Notice both answers equal 44,055,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,055,515 and divide it by 2:
44,055,515 ÷ 2 = 22,027,757.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,027,757.5 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 | 44,055,515 | |
| -1 | -44,055,515 |
Now, we try dividing 44,055,515 by 3:
44,055,515 ÷ 3 = 14,685,171.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,685,171.6667 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 | 44,055,515 | |
| -1 | -44,055,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,055,515 ÷ 4 = 11,013,878.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,013,878.75 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 | 44,055,515 | |
| -1 | 44,055,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 67 | 335 | 469 | 2,345 | 18,787 | 93,935 | 131,509 | 657,545 | 1,258,729 | 6,293,645 | 8,811,103 | 44,055,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -67 | -335 | -469 | -2,345 | -18,787 | -93,935 | -131,509 | -657,545 | -1,258,729 | -6,293,645 | -8,811,103 | -44,055,515 |
