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 45,581,929, 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 | 45,581,929 | |
| -1 | -45,581,929 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,581,929.
Example:
1 x 45,581,929 = 45,581,929
and
-1 x -45,581,929 = 45,581,929
Notice both answers equal 45,581,929
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,581,929 and divide it by 2:
45,581,929 ÷ 2 = 22,790,964.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,790,964.5 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 | 45,581,929 | |
| -1 | -45,581,929 |
Now, we try dividing 45,581,929 by 3:
45,581,929 ÷ 3 = 15,193,976.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,193,976.3333 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 | 45,581,929 | |
| -1 | -45,581,929 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,581,929 ÷ 4 = 11,395,482.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,395,482.25 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 | 45,581,929 | |
| -1 | 45,581,929 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 71 | 103 | 271 | 1,633 | 2,369 | 6,233 | 7,313 | 19,241 | 27,913 | 168,199 | 442,543 | 641,999 | 1,981,823 | 45,581,929 |
| -1 | -23 | -71 | -103 | -271 | -1,633 | -2,369 | -6,233 | -7,313 | -19,241 | -27,913 | -168,199 | -442,543 | -641,999 | -1,981,823 | -45,581,929 |
