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 45,252,415, 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 | 45,252,415 | |
| -1 | -45,252,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,252,415.
Example:
1 x 45,252,415 = 45,252,415
and
-1 x -45,252,415 = 45,252,415
Notice both answers equal 45,252,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,252,415 and divide it by 2:
45,252,415 ÷ 2 = 22,626,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,626,207.5 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 | 45,252,415 | |
| -1 | -45,252,415 |
Now, we try dividing 45,252,415 by 3:
45,252,415 ÷ 3 = 15,084,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,084,138.3333 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 | 45,252,415 | |
| -1 | -45,252,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,252,415 ÷ 4 = 11,313,103.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,313,103.75 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 | 45,252,415 | |
| -1 | 45,252,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 743 | 937 | 3,715 | 4,685 | 9,659 | 12,181 | 48,295 | 60,905 | 696,191 | 3,480,955 | 9,050,483 | 45,252,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -743 | -937 | -3,715 | -4,685 | -9,659 | -12,181 | -48,295 | -60,905 | -696,191 | -3,480,955 | -9,050,483 | -45,252,415 |
