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 44,142,965, 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 | 44,142,965 | |
| -1 | -44,142,965 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,142,965.
Example:
1 x 44,142,965 = 44,142,965
and
-1 x -44,142,965 = 44,142,965
Notice both answers equal 44,142,965
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,142,965 and divide it by 2:
44,142,965 ÷ 2 = 22,071,482.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,071,482.5 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 | 44,142,965 | |
| -1 | -44,142,965 |
Now, we try dividing 44,142,965 by 3:
44,142,965 ÷ 3 = 14,714,321.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,714,321.6667 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 | 44,142,965 | |
| -1 | -44,142,965 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,142,965 ÷ 4 = 11,035,741.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,035,741.25 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 | 44,142,965 | |
| -1 | 44,142,965 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 191 | 955 | 2,719 | 3,247 | 13,595 | 16,235 | 46,223 | 231,115 | 519,329 | 2,596,645 | 8,828,593 | 44,142,965 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -191 | -955 | -2,719 | -3,247 | -13,595 | -16,235 | -46,223 | -231,115 | -519,329 | -2,596,645 | -8,828,593 | -44,142,965 |
