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 45,262,165, 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 | 45,262,165 | |
| -1 | -45,262,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,262,165.
Example:
1 x 45,262,165 = 45,262,165
and
-1 x -45,262,165 = 45,262,165
Notice both answers equal 45,262,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,262,165 and divide it by 2:
45,262,165 ÷ 2 = 22,631,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,631,082.5 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 | 45,262,165 | |
| -1 | -45,262,165 |
Now, we try dividing 45,262,165 by 3:
45,262,165 ÷ 3 = 15,087,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,087,388.3333 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 | 45,262,165 | |
| -1 | -45,262,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,262,165 ÷ 4 = 11,315,541.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,315,541.25 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 | 45,262,165 | |
| -1 | 45,262,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 127 | 635 | 1,651 | 5,483 | 8,255 | 27,415 | 71,279 | 356,395 | 696,341 | 3,481,705 | 9,052,433 | 45,262,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -127 | -635 | -1,651 | -5,483 | -8,255 | -27,415 | -71,279 | -356,395 | -696,341 | -3,481,705 | -9,052,433 | -45,262,165 |
