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 44,555,105, 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 | 44,555,105 | |
| -1 | -44,555,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,555,105.
Example:
1 x 44,555,105 = 44,555,105
and
-1 x -44,555,105 = 44,555,105
Notice both answers equal 44,555,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,555,105 and divide it by 2:
44,555,105 ÷ 2 = 22,277,552.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,277,552.5 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 | 44,555,105 | |
| -1 | -44,555,105 |
Now, we try dividing 44,555,105 by 3:
44,555,105 ÷ 3 = 14,851,701.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,851,701.6667 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 | 44,555,105 | |
| -1 | -44,555,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,555,105 ÷ 4 = 11,138,776.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,138,776.25 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 | 44,555,105 | |
| -1 | 44,555,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 199 | 995 | 1,393 | 6,397 | 6,965 | 31,985 | 44,779 | 223,895 | 1,273,003 | 6,365,015 | 8,911,021 | 44,555,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -199 | -995 | -1,393 | -6,397 | -6,965 | -31,985 | -44,779 | -223,895 | -1,273,003 | -6,365,015 | -8,911,021 | -44,555,105 |
