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 44,555,107, 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 | 44,555,107 | |
| -1 | -44,555,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,555,107.
Example:
1 x 44,555,107 = 44,555,107
and
-1 x -44,555,107 = 44,555,107
Notice both answers equal 44,555,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,555,107 and divide it by 2:
44,555,107 ÷ 2 = 22,277,553.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,277,553.5 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 | 44,555,107 | |
| -1 | -44,555,107 |
Now, we try dividing 44,555,107 by 3:
44,555,107 ÷ 3 = 14,851,702.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,851,702.3333 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 | 44,555,107 | |
| -1 | -44,555,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,555,107 ÷ 4 = 11,138,776.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,138,776.75 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 | 44,555,107 | |
| -1 | 44,555,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 47 | 97 | 337 | 1,363 | 2,813 | 4,559 | 9,773 | 15,839 | 32,689 | 132,211 | 459,331 | 947,981 | 1,536,383 | 44,555,107 |
| -1 | -29 | -47 | -97 | -337 | -1,363 | -2,813 | -4,559 | -9,773 | -15,839 | -32,689 | -132,211 | -459,331 | -947,981 | -1,536,383 | -44,555,107 |
