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 44,320,031, 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 | 44,320,031 | |
| -1 | -44,320,031 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,320,031.
Example:
1 x 44,320,031 = 44,320,031
and
-1 x -44,320,031 = 44,320,031
Notice both answers equal 44,320,031
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,320,031 and divide it by 2:
44,320,031 ÷ 2 = 22,160,015.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,160,015.5 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 | 44,320,031 | |
| -1 | -44,320,031 |
Now, we try dividing 44,320,031 by 3:
44,320,031 ÷ 3 = 14,773,343.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,773,343.6667 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 | 44,320,031 | |
| -1 | -44,320,031 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,320,031 ÷ 4 = 11,080,007.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,080,007.75 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 | 44,320,031 | |
| -1 | 44,320,031 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 67 | 371 | 469 | 1,783 | 3,551 | 12,481 | 24,857 | 94,499 | 119,461 | 661,493 | 836,227 | 6,331,433 | 44,320,031 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -67 | -371 | -469 | -1,783 | -3,551 | -12,481 | -24,857 | -94,499 | -119,461 | -661,493 | -836,227 | -6,331,433 | -44,320,031 |
