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 45,024,265, 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 | 45,024,265 | |
| -1 | -45,024,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,024,265.
Example:
1 x 45,024,265 = 45,024,265
and
-1 x -45,024,265 = 45,024,265
Notice both answers equal 45,024,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,024,265 and divide it by 2:
45,024,265 ÷ 2 = 22,512,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,512,132.5 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 | 45,024,265 | |
| -1 | -45,024,265 |
Now, we try dividing 45,024,265 by 3:
45,024,265 ÷ 3 = 15,008,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,008,088.3333 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 | 45,024,265 | |
| -1 | -45,024,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,024,265 ÷ 4 = 11,256,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,256,066.25 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 | 45,024,265 | |
| -1 | 45,024,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 62,971 | 314,855 | 692,681 | 818,623 | 3,463,405 | 4,093,115 | 9,004,853 | 45,024,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -62,971 | -314,855 | -692,681 | -818,623 | -3,463,405 | -4,093,115 | -9,004,853 | -45,024,265 |
