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 45,422,185, 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 | 45,422,185 | |
| -1 | -45,422,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,422,185.
Example:
1 x 45,422,185 = 45,422,185
and
-1 x -45,422,185 = 45,422,185
Notice both answers equal 45,422,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,422,185 and divide it by 2:
45,422,185 ÷ 2 = 22,711,092.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,711,092.5 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 | 45,422,185 | |
| -1 | -45,422,185 |
Now, we try dividing 45,422,185 by 3:
45,422,185 ÷ 3 = 15,140,728.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,140,728.3333 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 | 45,422,185 | |
| -1 | -45,422,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,422,185 ÷ 4 = 11,355,546.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,355,546.25 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 | 45,422,185 | |
| -1 | 45,422,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 127 | 233 | 307 | 635 | 1,165 | 1,535 | 29,591 | 38,989 | 71,531 | 147,955 | 194,945 | 357,655 | 9,084,437 | 45,422,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -127 | -233 | -307 | -635 | -1,165 | -1,535 | -29,591 | -38,989 | -71,531 | -147,955 | -194,945 | -357,655 | -9,084,437 | -45,422,185 |
