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 45,343,051, 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 | 45,343,051 | |
| -1 | -45,343,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,343,051.
Example:
1 x 45,343,051 = 45,343,051
and
-1 x -45,343,051 = 45,343,051
Notice both answers equal 45,343,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,343,051 and divide it by 2:
45,343,051 ÷ 2 = 22,671,525.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,671,525.5 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 | 45,343,051 | |
| -1 | -45,343,051 |
Now, we try dividing 45,343,051 by 3:
45,343,051 ÷ 3 = 15,114,350.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,114,350.3333 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 | 45,343,051 | |
| -1 | -45,343,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,343,051 ÷ 4 = 11,335,762.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,335,762.75 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 | 45,343,051 | |
| -1 | 45,343,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 139 | 299 | 1,091 | 1,807 | 3,197 | 14,183 | 25,093 | 41,561 | 151,649 | 326,209 | 1,971,437 | 3,487,927 | 45,343,051 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -139 | -299 | -1,091 | -1,807 | -3,197 | -14,183 | -25,093 | -41,561 | -151,649 | -326,209 | -1,971,437 | -3,487,927 | -45,343,051 |
