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 45,040,355, 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 | 45,040,355 | |
| -1 | -45,040,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,040,355.
Example:
1 x 45,040,355 = 45,040,355
and
-1 x -45,040,355 = 45,040,355
Notice both answers equal 45,040,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,040,355 and divide it by 2:
45,040,355 ÷ 2 = 22,520,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,520,177.5 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 | 45,040,355 | |
| -1 | -45,040,355 |
Now, we try dividing 45,040,355 by 3:
45,040,355 ÷ 3 = 15,013,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,013,451.6667 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 | 45,040,355 | |
| -1 | -45,040,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,040,355 ÷ 4 = 11,260,088.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,260,088.75 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 | 45,040,355 | |
| -1 | 45,040,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 103 | 515 | 1,957 | 4,603 | 9,785 | 23,015 | 87,457 | 437,285 | 474,109 | 2,370,545 | 9,008,071 | 45,040,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -103 | -515 | -1,957 | -4,603 | -9,785 | -23,015 | -87,457 | -437,285 | -474,109 | -2,370,545 | -9,008,071 | -45,040,355 |
