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 44,147,939, 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 | 44,147,939 | |
| -1 | -44,147,939 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,147,939.
Example:
1 x 44,147,939 = 44,147,939
and
-1 x -44,147,939 = 44,147,939
Notice both answers equal 44,147,939
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,147,939 and divide it by 2:
44,147,939 ÷ 2 = 22,073,969.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,073,969.5 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 | 44,147,939 | |
| -1 | -44,147,939 |
Now, we try dividing 44,147,939 by 3:
44,147,939 ÷ 3 = 14,715,979.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,715,979.6667 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 | 44,147,939 | |
| -1 | -44,147,939 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,147,939 ÷ 4 = 11,036,984.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,036,984.75 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 | 44,147,939 | |
| -1 | 44,147,939 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 121 | 451 | 809 | 1,331 | 4,961 | 8,899 | 33,169 | 54,571 | 97,889 | 364,859 | 1,076,779 | 4,013,449 | 44,147,939 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -121 | -451 | -809 | -1,331 | -4,961 | -8,899 | -33,169 | -54,571 | -97,889 | -364,859 | -1,076,779 | -4,013,449 | -44,147,939 |
