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 44,665,423, 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 | 44,665,423 | |
| -1 | -44,665,423 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,665,423.
Example:
1 x 44,665,423 = 44,665,423
and
-1 x -44,665,423 = 44,665,423
Notice both answers equal 44,665,423
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,665,423 and divide it by 2:
44,665,423 ÷ 2 = 22,332,711.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,332,711.5 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 | 44,665,423 | |
| -1 | -44,665,423 |
Now, we try dividing 44,665,423 by 3:
44,665,423 ÷ 3 = 14,888,474.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,888,474.3333 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 | 44,665,423 | |
| -1 | -44,665,423 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,665,423 ÷ 4 = 11,166,355.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,166,355.75 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 | 44,665,423 | |
| -1 | 44,665,423 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 163 | 319 | 859 | 1,793 | 4,727 | 9,449 | 24,911 | 51,997 | 140,017 | 274,021 | 1,540,187 | 4,060,493 | 44,665,423 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -163 | -319 | -859 | -1,793 | -4,727 | -9,449 | -24,911 | -51,997 | -140,017 | -274,021 | -1,540,187 | -4,060,493 | -44,665,423 |
