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 44,517,605, 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 | 44,517,605 | |
| -1 | -44,517,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,517,605.
Example:
1 x 44,517,605 = 44,517,605
and
-1 x -44,517,605 = 44,517,605
Notice both answers equal 44,517,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,517,605 and divide it by 2:
44,517,605 ÷ 2 = 22,258,802.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,258,802.5 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 | 44,517,605 | |
| -1 | -44,517,605 |
Now, we try dividing 44,517,605 by 3:
44,517,605 ÷ 3 = 14,839,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,839,201.6667 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 | 44,517,605 | |
| -1 | -44,517,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,517,605 ÷ 4 = 11,129,401.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,129,401.25 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 | 44,517,605 | |
| -1 | 44,517,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 409 | 1,979 | 2,045 | 4,499 | 9,895 | 21,769 | 22,495 | 108,845 | 809,411 | 4,047,055 | 8,903,521 | 44,517,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -409 | -1,979 | -2,045 | -4,499 | -9,895 | -21,769 | -22,495 | -108,845 | -809,411 | -4,047,055 | -8,903,521 | -44,517,605 |
