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 45,354,793, 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 | 45,354,793 | |
| -1 | -45,354,793 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,354,793.
Example:
1 x 45,354,793 = 45,354,793
and
-1 x -45,354,793 = 45,354,793
Notice both answers equal 45,354,793
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,354,793 and divide it by 2:
45,354,793 ÷ 2 = 22,677,396.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,677,396.5 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 | 45,354,793 | |
| -1 | -45,354,793 |
Now, we try dividing 45,354,793 by 3:
45,354,793 ÷ 3 = 15,118,264.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,118,264.3333 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 | 45,354,793 | |
| -1 | -45,354,793 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,354,793 ÷ 4 = 11,338,698.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,338,698.25 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 | 45,354,793 | |
| -1 | 45,354,793 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 121 | 187 | 289 | 1,297 | 2,057 | 3,179 | 14,267 | 22,049 | 34,969 | 156,937 | 242,539 | 374,833 | 2,667,929 | 4,123,163 | 45,354,793 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -121 | -187 | -289 | -1,297 | -2,057 | -3,179 | -14,267 | -22,049 | -34,969 | -156,937 | -242,539 | -374,833 | -2,667,929 | -4,123,163 | -45,354,793 |
