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 44,238,305, 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 | 44,238,305 | |
| -1 | -44,238,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,238,305.
Example:
1 x 44,238,305 = 44,238,305
and
-1 x -44,238,305 = 44,238,305
Notice both answers equal 44,238,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,238,305 and divide it by 2:
44,238,305 ÷ 2 = 22,119,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,119,152.5 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 | 44,238,305 | |
| -1 | -44,238,305 |
Now, we try dividing 44,238,305 by 3:
44,238,305 ÷ 3 = 14,746,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,746,101.6667 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 | 44,238,305 | |
| -1 | -44,238,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,238,305 ÷ 4 = 11,059,576.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,059,576.25 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 | 44,238,305 | |
| -1 | 44,238,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 97 | 265 | 485 | 1,721 | 5,141 | 8,605 | 25,705 | 91,213 | 166,937 | 456,065 | 834,685 | 8,847,661 | 44,238,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -97 | -265 | -485 | -1,721 | -5,141 | -8,605 | -25,705 | -91,213 | -166,937 | -456,065 | -834,685 | -8,847,661 | -44,238,305 |
