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 44,471,447, 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 | 44,471,447 | |
| -1 | -44,471,447 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,471,447.
Example:
1 x 44,471,447 = 44,471,447
and
-1 x -44,471,447 = 44,471,447
Notice both answers equal 44,471,447
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,471,447 and divide it by 2:
44,471,447 ÷ 2 = 22,235,723.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,235,723.5 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 | 44,471,447 | |
| -1 | -44,471,447 |
Now, we try dividing 44,471,447 by 3:
44,471,447 ÷ 3 = 14,823,815.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,823,815.6667 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 | 44,471,447 | |
| -1 | -44,471,447 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,471,447 ÷ 4 = 11,117,861.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,117,861.75 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 | 44,471,447 | |
| -1 | 44,471,447 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 47 | 107 | 239 | 1,739 | 3,959 | 5,029 | 8,843 | 11,233 | 25,573 | 186,073 | 415,621 | 946,201 | 1,201,931 | 44,471,447 |
| -1 | -37 | -47 | -107 | -239 | -1,739 | -3,959 | -5,029 | -8,843 | -11,233 | -25,573 | -186,073 | -415,621 | -946,201 | -1,201,931 | -44,471,447 |
