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 44,302,223, 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 | 44,302,223 | |
| -1 | -44,302,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,302,223.
Example:
1 x 44,302,223 = 44,302,223
and
-1 x -44,302,223 = 44,302,223
Notice both answers equal 44,302,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,302,223 and divide it by 2:
44,302,223 ÷ 2 = 22,151,111.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,151,111.5 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 | 44,302,223 | |
| -1 | -44,302,223 |
Now, we try dividing 44,302,223 by 3:
44,302,223 ÷ 3 = 14,767,407.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,767,407.6667 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 | 44,302,223 | |
| -1 | -44,302,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,302,223 ÷ 4 = 11,075,555.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,075,555.75 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 | 44,302,223 | |
| -1 | 44,302,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 53 | 343 | 371 | 2,437 | 2,597 | 17,059 | 18,179 | 119,413 | 129,161 | 835,891 | 904,127 | 6,328,889 | 44,302,223 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -53 | -343 | -371 | -2,437 | -2,597 | -17,059 | -18,179 | -119,413 | -129,161 | -835,891 | -904,127 | -6,328,889 | -44,302,223 |
