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 45,120,235, 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 | 45,120,235 | |
| -1 | -45,120,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,120,235.
Example:
1 x 45,120,235 = 45,120,235
and
-1 x -45,120,235 = 45,120,235
Notice both answers equal 45,120,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,120,235 and divide it by 2:
45,120,235 ÷ 2 = 22,560,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,560,117.5 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 | 45,120,235 | |
| -1 | -45,120,235 |
Now, we try dividing 45,120,235 by 3:
45,120,235 ÷ 3 = 15,040,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,040,078.3333 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 | 45,120,235 | |
| -1 | -45,120,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,120,235 ÷ 4 = 11,280,058.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,280,058.75 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 | 45,120,235 | |
| -1 | 45,120,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 101 | 235 | 505 | 1,901 | 4,747 | 9,505 | 23,735 | 89,347 | 192,001 | 446,735 | 960,005 | 9,024,047 | 45,120,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -101 | -235 | -505 | -1,901 | -4,747 | -9,505 | -23,735 | -89,347 | -192,001 | -446,735 | -960,005 | -9,024,047 | -45,120,235 |
