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 45,455,501, 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 | 45,455,501 | |
| -1 | -45,455,501 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,455,501.
Example:
1 x 45,455,501 = 45,455,501
and
-1 x -45,455,501 = 45,455,501
Notice both answers equal 45,455,501
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,455,501 and divide it by 2:
45,455,501 ÷ 2 = 22,727,750.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,727,750.5 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 | 45,455,501 | |
| -1 | -45,455,501 |
Now, we try dividing 45,455,501 by 3:
45,455,501 ÷ 3 = 15,151,833.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,151,833.6667 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 | 45,455,501 | |
| -1 | -45,455,501 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,455,501 ÷ 4 = 11,363,875.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,363,875.25 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 | 45,455,501 | |
| -1 | 45,455,501 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 17 | 91 | 119 | 221 | 1,547 | 29,383 | 205,681 | 381,979 | 499,511 | 2,673,853 | 3,496,577 | 6,493,643 | 45,455,501 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -17 | -91 | -119 | -221 | -1,547 | -29,383 | -205,681 | -381,979 | -499,511 | -2,673,853 | -3,496,577 | -6,493,643 | -45,455,501 |
