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 44,284,079, 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 | 44,284,079 | |
| -1 | -44,284,079 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,284,079.
Example:
1 x 44,284,079 = 44,284,079
and
-1 x -44,284,079 = 44,284,079
Notice both answers equal 44,284,079
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,284,079 and divide it by 2:
44,284,079 ÷ 2 = 22,142,039.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,142,039.5 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 | 44,284,079 | |
| -1 | -44,284,079 |
Now, we try dividing 44,284,079 by 3:
44,284,079 ÷ 3 = 14,761,359.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,761,359.6667 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 | 44,284,079 | |
| -1 | -44,284,079 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,284,079 ÷ 4 = 11,071,019.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,071,019.75 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 | 44,284,079 | |
| -1 | 44,284,079 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 37 | 133 | 259 | 703 | 4,921 | 8,999 | 62,993 | 170,981 | 332,963 | 1,196,867 | 2,330,741 | 6,326,297 | 44,284,079 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -37 | -133 | -259 | -703 | -4,921 | -8,999 | -62,993 | -170,981 | -332,963 | -1,196,867 | -2,330,741 | -6,326,297 | -44,284,079 |
