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 44,453,215, 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 | 44,453,215 | |
| -1 | -44,453,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,453,215.
Example:
1 x 44,453,215 = 44,453,215
and
-1 x -44,453,215 = 44,453,215
Notice both answers equal 44,453,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,453,215 and divide it by 2:
44,453,215 ÷ 2 = 22,226,607.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,226,607.5 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 | 44,453,215 | |
| -1 | -44,453,215 |
Now, we try dividing 44,453,215 by 3:
44,453,215 ÷ 3 = 14,817,738.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,817,738.3333 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 | 44,453,215 | |
| -1 | -44,453,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,453,215 ÷ 4 = 11,113,303.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,113,303.75 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 | 44,453,215 | |
| -1 | 44,453,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 173 | 865 | 2,941 | 3,023 | 14,705 | 15,115 | 51,391 | 256,955 | 522,979 | 2,614,895 | 8,890,643 | 44,453,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -173 | -865 | -2,941 | -3,023 | -14,705 | -15,115 | -51,391 | -256,955 | -522,979 | -2,614,895 | -8,890,643 | -44,453,215 |
