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 45,451,553, 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 | 45,451,553 | |
| -1 | -45,451,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,451,553.
Example:
1 x 45,451,553 = 45,451,553
and
-1 x -45,451,553 = 45,451,553
Notice both answers equal 45,451,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,451,553 and divide it by 2:
45,451,553 ÷ 2 = 22,725,776.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,725,776.5 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 | 45,451,553 | |
| -1 | -45,451,553 |
Now, we try dividing 45,451,553 by 3:
45,451,553 ÷ 3 = 15,150,517.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,150,517.6667 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 | 45,451,553 | |
| -1 | -45,451,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,451,553 ÷ 4 = 11,362,888.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,362,888.25 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 | 45,451,553 | |
| -1 | 45,451,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 563 | 607 | 3,941 | 4,249 | 10,697 | 11,533 | 74,879 | 80,731 | 341,741 | 2,392,187 | 6,493,079 | 45,451,553 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -563 | -607 | -3,941 | -4,249 | -10,697 | -11,533 | -74,879 | -80,731 | -341,741 | -2,392,187 | -6,493,079 | -45,451,553 |
