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 44,616,145, 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 | 44,616,145 | |
| -1 | -44,616,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,616,145.
Example:
1 x 44,616,145 = 44,616,145
and
-1 x -44,616,145 = 44,616,145
Notice both answers equal 44,616,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,616,145 and divide it by 2:
44,616,145 ÷ 2 = 22,308,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,308,072.5 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 | 44,616,145 | |
| -1 | -44,616,145 |
Now, we try dividing 44,616,145 by 3:
44,616,145 ÷ 3 = 14,872,048.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,872,048.3333 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 | 44,616,145 | |
| -1 | -44,616,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,616,145 ÷ 4 = 11,154,036.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,154,036.25 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 | 44,616,145 | |
| -1 | 44,616,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 89 | 445 | 623 | 3,115 | 14,323 | 71,615 | 100,261 | 501,305 | 1,274,747 | 6,373,735 | 8,923,229 | 44,616,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -89 | -445 | -623 | -3,115 | -14,323 | -71,615 | -100,261 | -501,305 | -1,274,747 | -6,373,735 | -8,923,229 | -44,616,145 |
