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 44,302,427, 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 | 44,302,427 | |
| -1 | -44,302,427 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,302,427.
Example:
1 x 44,302,427 = 44,302,427
and
-1 x -44,302,427 = 44,302,427
Notice both answers equal 44,302,427
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,302,427 and divide it by 2:
44,302,427 ÷ 2 = 22,151,213.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,151,213.5 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 | 44,302,427 | |
| -1 | -44,302,427 |
Now, we try dividing 44,302,427 by 3:
44,302,427 ÷ 3 = 14,767,475.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,767,475.6667 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 | 44,302,427 | |
| -1 | -44,302,427 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,302,427 ÷ 4 = 11,075,606.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,075,606.75 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 | 44,302,427 | |
| -1 | 44,302,427 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 43 | 533 | 559 | 1,763 | 1,933 | 22,919 | 25,129 | 79,253 | 83,119 | 1,030,289 | 1,080,547 | 3,407,879 | 44,302,427 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -43 | -533 | -559 | -1,763 | -1,933 | -22,919 | -25,129 | -79,253 | -83,119 | -1,030,289 | -1,080,547 | -3,407,879 | -44,302,427 |
