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 44,331,143, 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 | 44,331,143 | |
| -1 | -44,331,143 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,331,143.
Example:
1 x 44,331,143 = 44,331,143
and
-1 x -44,331,143 = 44,331,143
Notice both answers equal 44,331,143
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,331,143 and divide it by 2:
44,331,143 ÷ 2 = 22,165,571.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,165,571.5 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 | 44,331,143 | |
| -1 | -44,331,143 |
Now, we try dividing 44,331,143 by 3:
44,331,143 ÷ 3 = 14,777,047.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,777,047.6667 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 | 44,331,143 | |
| -1 | -44,331,143 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,331,143 ÷ 4 = 11,082,785.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,082,785.75 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 | 44,331,143 | |
| -1 | 44,331,143 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 37 | 113 | 461 | 851 | 2,599 | 4,181 | 10,603 | 17,057 | 52,093 | 96,163 | 392,311 | 1,198,139 | 1,927,441 | 44,331,143 |
| -1 | -23 | -37 | -113 | -461 | -851 | -2,599 | -4,181 | -10,603 | -17,057 | -52,093 | -96,163 | -392,311 | -1,198,139 | -1,927,441 | -44,331,143 |
