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 45,585,727, 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 | 45,585,727 | |
| -1 | -45,585,727 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,585,727.
Example:
1 x 45,585,727 = 45,585,727
and
-1 x -45,585,727 = 45,585,727
Notice both answers equal 45,585,727
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,585,727 and divide it by 2:
45,585,727 ÷ 2 = 22,792,863.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,792,863.5 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 | 45,585,727 | |
| -1 | -45,585,727 |
Now, we try dividing 45,585,727 by 3:
45,585,727 ÷ 3 = 15,195,242.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,195,242.3333 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 | 45,585,727 | |
| -1 | -45,585,727 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,585,727 ÷ 4 = 11,396,431.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,396,431.75 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 | 45,585,727 | |
| -1 | 45,585,727 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 61 | 451 | 671 | 1,657 | 2,501 | 18,227 | 27,511 | 67,937 | 101,077 | 747,307 | 1,111,847 | 4,144,157 | 45,585,727 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -61 | -451 | -671 | -1,657 | -2,501 | -18,227 | -27,511 | -67,937 | -101,077 | -747,307 | -1,111,847 | -4,144,157 | -45,585,727 |
