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 44,323,405, 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 | 44,323,405 | |
| -1 | -44,323,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,323,405.
Example:
1 x 44,323,405 = 44,323,405
and
-1 x -44,323,405 = 44,323,405
Notice both answers equal 44,323,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,323,405 and divide it by 2:
44,323,405 ÷ 2 = 22,161,702.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,161,702.5 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 | 44,323,405 | |
| -1 | -44,323,405 |
Now, we try dividing 44,323,405 by 3:
44,323,405 ÷ 3 = 14,774,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,774,468.3333 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 | 44,323,405 | |
| -1 | -44,323,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,323,405 ÷ 4 = 11,080,851.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,080,851.25 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 | 44,323,405 | |
| -1 | 44,323,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 271 | 1,355 | 1,897 | 4,673 | 9,485 | 23,365 | 32,711 | 163,555 | 1,266,383 | 6,331,915 | 8,864,681 | 44,323,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -271 | -1,355 | -1,897 | -4,673 | -9,485 | -23,365 | -32,711 | -163,555 | -1,266,383 | -6,331,915 | -8,864,681 | -44,323,405 |
