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 45,181,477, 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 | 45,181,477 | |
| -1 | -45,181,477 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,181,477.
Example:
1 x 45,181,477 = 45,181,477
and
-1 x -45,181,477 = 45,181,477
Notice both answers equal 45,181,477
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,181,477 and divide it by 2:
45,181,477 ÷ 2 = 22,590,738.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,590,738.5 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 | 45,181,477 | |
| -1 | -45,181,477 |
Now, we try dividing 45,181,477 by 3:
45,181,477 ÷ 3 = 15,060,492.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,060,492.3333 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 | 45,181,477 | |
| -1 | -45,181,477 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,181,477 ÷ 4 = 11,295,369.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,295,369.25 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 | 45,181,477 | |
| -1 | 45,181,477 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 37 | 341 | 407 | 1,147 | 3,581 | 12,617 | 39,391 | 111,011 | 132,497 | 1,221,121 | 1,457,467 | 4,107,407 | 45,181,477 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -37 | -341 | -407 | -1,147 | -3,581 | -12,617 | -39,391 | -111,011 | -132,497 | -1,221,121 | -1,457,467 | -4,107,407 | -45,181,477 |
