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 45,405,235, 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 | 45,405,235 | |
| -1 | -45,405,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,405,235.
Example:
1 x 45,405,235 = 45,405,235
and
-1 x -45,405,235 = 45,405,235
Notice both answers equal 45,405,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,405,235 and divide it by 2:
45,405,235 ÷ 2 = 22,702,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,702,617.5 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 | 45,405,235 | |
| -1 | -45,405,235 |
Now, we try dividing 45,405,235 by 3:
45,405,235 ÷ 3 = 15,135,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,135,078.3333 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 | 45,405,235 | |
| -1 | -45,405,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,405,235 ÷ 4 = 11,351,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,351,308.75 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 | 45,405,235 | |
| -1 | 45,405,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 155 | 457 | 641 | 2,285 | 3,205 | 14,167 | 19,871 | 70,835 | 99,355 | 292,937 | 1,464,685 | 9,081,047 | 45,405,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -155 | -457 | -641 | -2,285 | -3,205 | -14,167 | -19,871 | -70,835 | -99,355 | -292,937 | -1,464,685 | -9,081,047 | -45,405,235 |
