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 45,510,353, 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 | 45,510,353 | |
| -1 | -45,510,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,510,353.
Example:
1 x 45,510,353 = 45,510,353
and
-1 x -45,510,353 = 45,510,353
Notice both answers equal 45,510,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,510,353 and divide it by 2:
45,510,353 ÷ 2 = 22,755,176.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,755,176.5 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 | 45,510,353 | |
| -1 | -45,510,353 |
Now, we try dividing 45,510,353 by 3:
45,510,353 ÷ 3 = 15,170,117.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,170,117.6667 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 | 45,510,353 | |
| -1 | -45,510,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,510,353 ÷ 4 = 11,377,588.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,377,588.25 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 | 45,510,353 | |
| -1 | 45,510,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 67 | 161 | 469 | 1,541 | 4,219 | 10,787 | 29,533 | 97,037 | 282,673 | 679,259 | 1,978,711 | 6,501,479 | 45,510,353 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -67 | -161 | -469 | -1,541 | -4,219 | -10,787 | -29,533 | -97,037 | -282,673 | -679,259 | -1,978,711 | -6,501,479 | -45,510,353 |
