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 45,602,207, 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 | 45,602,207 | |
| -1 | -45,602,207 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,602,207.
Example:
1 x 45,602,207 = 45,602,207
and
-1 x -45,602,207 = 45,602,207
Notice both answers equal 45,602,207
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,602,207 and divide it by 2:
45,602,207 ÷ 2 = 22,801,103.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,801,103.5 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 | 45,602,207 | |
| -1 | -45,602,207 |
Now, we try dividing 45,602,207 by 3:
45,602,207 ÷ 3 = 15,200,735.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,200,735.6667 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 | 45,602,207 | |
| -1 | -45,602,207 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,602,207 ÷ 4 = 11,400,551.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,400,551.75 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 | 45,602,207 | |
| -1 | 45,602,207 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 101 | 371 | 707 | 1,217 | 5,353 | 8,519 | 37,471 | 64,501 | 122,917 | 451,507 | 860,419 | 6,514,601 | 45,602,207 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -101 | -371 | -707 | -1,217 | -5,353 | -8,519 | -37,471 | -64,501 | -122,917 | -451,507 | -860,419 | -6,514,601 | -45,602,207 |
