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 44,856,511, 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 | 44,856,511 | |
| -1 | -44,856,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,856,511.
Example:
1 x 44,856,511 = 44,856,511
and
-1 x -44,856,511 = 44,856,511
Notice both answers equal 44,856,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,856,511 and divide it by 2:
44,856,511 ÷ 2 = 22,428,255.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,428,255.5 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 | 44,856,511 | |
| -1 | -44,856,511 |
Now, we try dividing 44,856,511 by 3:
44,856,511 ÷ 3 = 14,952,170.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,952,170.3333 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 | 44,856,511 | |
| -1 | -44,856,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,856,511 ÷ 4 = 11,214,127.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,214,127.75 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 | 44,856,511 | |
| -1 | 44,856,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 133 | 343 | 931 | 6,517 | 6,883 | 48,181 | 130,777 | 337,267 | 915,439 | 2,360,869 | 6,408,073 | 44,856,511 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -133 | -343 | -931 | -6,517 | -6,883 | -48,181 | -130,777 | -337,267 | -915,439 | -2,360,869 | -6,408,073 | -44,856,511 |
