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 44,241,455, 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 | 44,241,455 | |
| -1 | -44,241,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,241,455.
Example:
1 x 44,241,455 = 44,241,455
and
-1 x -44,241,455 = 44,241,455
Notice both answers equal 44,241,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,241,455 and divide it by 2:
44,241,455 ÷ 2 = 22,120,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,120,727.5 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 | 44,241,455 | |
| -1 | -44,241,455 |
Now, we try dividing 44,241,455 by 3:
44,241,455 ÷ 3 = 14,747,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,747,151.6667 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 | 44,241,455 | |
| -1 | -44,241,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,241,455 ÷ 4 = 11,060,363.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,060,363.75 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 | 44,241,455 | |
| -1 | 44,241,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 89 | 185 | 445 | 2,687 | 3,293 | 13,435 | 16,465 | 99,419 | 239,143 | 497,095 | 1,195,715 | 8,848,291 | 44,241,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -89 | -185 | -445 | -2,687 | -3,293 | -13,435 | -16,465 | -99,419 | -239,143 | -497,095 | -1,195,715 | -8,848,291 | -44,241,455 |
