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 44,651,015, 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 | 44,651,015 | |
| -1 | -44,651,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,651,015.
Example:
1 x 44,651,015 = 44,651,015
and
-1 x -44,651,015 = 44,651,015
Notice both answers equal 44,651,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,651,015 and divide it by 2:
44,651,015 ÷ 2 = 22,325,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,325,507.5 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 | 44,651,015 | |
| -1 | -44,651,015 |
Now, we try dividing 44,651,015 by 3:
44,651,015 ÷ 3 = 14,883,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,883,671.6667 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 | 44,651,015 | |
| -1 | -44,651,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,651,015 ÷ 4 = 11,162,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,162,753.75 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 | 44,651,015 | |
| -1 | 44,651,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 103 | 277 | 313 | 515 | 1,385 | 1,565 | 28,531 | 32,239 | 86,701 | 142,655 | 161,195 | 433,505 | 8,930,203 | 44,651,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -103 | -277 | -313 | -515 | -1,385 | -1,565 | -28,531 | -32,239 | -86,701 | -142,655 | -161,195 | -433,505 | -8,930,203 | -44,651,015 |
