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 44,280,835, 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 | 44,280,835 | |
| -1 | -44,280,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,280,835.
Example:
1 x 44,280,835 = 44,280,835
and
-1 x -44,280,835 = 44,280,835
Notice both answers equal 44,280,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,280,835 and divide it by 2:
44,280,835 ÷ 2 = 22,140,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,140,417.5 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 | 44,280,835 | |
| -1 | -44,280,835 |
Now, we try dividing 44,280,835 by 3:
44,280,835 ÷ 3 = 14,760,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,760,278.3333 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 | 44,280,835 | |
| -1 | -44,280,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,280,835 ÷ 4 = 11,070,208.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,070,208.75 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 | 44,280,835 | |
| -1 | 44,280,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 491 | 1,061 | 2,455 | 5,305 | 8,347 | 18,037 | 41,735 | 90,185 | 520,951 | 2,604,755 | 8,856,167 | 44,280,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -491 | -1,061 | -2,455 | -5,305 | -8,347 | -18,037 | -41,735 | -90,185 | -520,951 | -2,604,755 | -8,856,167 | -44,280,835 |
