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 44,232,205, 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 | 44,232,205 | |
| -1 | -44,232,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,232,205.
Example:
1 x 44,232,205 = 44,232,205
and
-1 x -44,232,205 = 44,232,205
Notice both answers equal 44,232,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,232,205 and divide it by 2:
44,232,205 ÷ 2 = 22,116,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,116,102.5 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 | 44,232,205 | |
| -1 | -44,232,205 |
Now, we try dividing 44,232,205 by 3:
44,232,205 ÷ 3 = 14,744,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,744,068.3333 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 | 44,232,205 | |
| -1 | -44,232,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,232,205 ÷ 4 = 11,058,051.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,058,051.25 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 | 44,232,205 | |
| -1 | 44,232,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 373 | 641 | 1,865 | 3,205 | 13,801 | 23,717 | 69,005 | 118,585 | 239,093 | 1,195,465 | 8,846,441 | 44,232,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -373 | -641 | -1,865 | -3,205 | -13,801 | -23,717 | -69,005 | -118,585 | -239,093 | -1,195,465 | -8,846,441 | -44,232,205 |
