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 44,178,407, 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 | 44,178,407 | |
| -1 | -44,178,407 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,178,407.
Example:
1 x 44,178,407 = 44,178,407
and
-1 x -44,178,407 = 44,178,407
Notice both answers equal 44,178,407
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,178,407 and divide it by 2:
44,178,407 ÷ 2 = 22,089,203.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,089,203.5 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 | 44,178,407 | |
| -1 | -44,178,407 |
Now, we try dividing 44,178,407 by 3:
44,178,407 ÷ 3 = 14,726,135.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,726,135.6667 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 | 44,178,407 | |
| -1 | -44,178,407 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,178,407 ÷ 4 = 11,044,601.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,044,601.75 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 | 44,178,407 | |
| -1 | 44,178,407 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 37 | 91 | 259 | 481 | 3,367 | 13,121 | 91,847 | 170,573 | 485,477 | 1,194,011 | 3,398,339 | 6,311,201 | 44,178,407 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -37 | -91 | -259 | -481 | -3,367 | -13,121 | -91,847 | -170,573 | -485,477 | -1,194,011 | -3,398,339 | -6,311,201 | -44,178,407 |
