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 44,500,261, 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 | 44,500,261 | |
| -1 | -44,500,261 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,500,261.
Example:
1 x 44,500,261 = 44,500,261
and
-1 x -44,500,261 = 44,500,261
Notice both answers equal 44,500,261
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,500,261 and divide it by 2:
44,500,261 ÷ 2 = 22,250,130.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,250,130.5 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 | 44,500,261 | |
| -1 | -44,500,261 |
Now, we try dividing 44,500,261 by 3:
44,500,261 ÷ 3 = 14,833,420.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,833,420.3333 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 | 44,500,261 | |
| -1 | -44,500,261 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,500,261 ÷ 4 = 11,125,065.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,125,065.25 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 | 44,500,261 | |
| -1 | 44,500,261 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 67 | 247 | 871 | 1,273 | 2,689 | 16,549 | 34,957 | 51,091 | 180,163 | 664,183 | 2,342,119 | 3,423,097 | 44,500,261 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -67 | -247 | -871 | -1,273 | -2,689 | -16,549 | -34,957 | -51,091 | -180,163 | -664,183 | -2,342,119 | -3,423,097 | -44,500,261 |
