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 44,831,327, 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 | 44,831,327 | |
| -1 | -44,831,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,831,327.
Example:
1 x 44,831,327 = 44,831,327
and
-1 x -44,831,327 = 44,831,327
Notice both answers equal 44,831,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,831,327 and divide it by 2:
44,831,327 ÷ 2 = 22,415,663.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,415,663.5 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 | 44,831,327 | |
| -1 | -44,831,327 |
Now, we try dividing 44,831,327 by 3:
44,831,327 ÷ 3 = 14,943,775.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,943,775.6667 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 | 44,831,327 | |
| -1 | -44,831,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,831,327 ÷ 4 = 11,207,831.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,207,831.75 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 | 44,831,327 | |
| -1 | 44,831,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 43 | 59 | 431 | 1,763 | 2,419 | 2,537 | 17,671 | 18,533 | 25,429 | 104,017 | 759,853 | 1,042,589 | 1,093,447 | 44,831,327 |
| -1 | -41 | -43 | -59 | -431 | -1,763 | -2,419 | -2,537 | -17,671 | -18,533 | -25,429 | -104,017 | -759,853 | -1,042,589 | -1,093,447 | -44,831,327 |
