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 45,603,365, 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 | 45,603,365 | |
| -1 | -45,603,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,603,365.
Example:
1 x 45,603,365 = 45,603,365
and
-1 x -45,603,365 = 45,603,365
Notice both answers equal 45,603,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,603,365 and divide it by 2:
45,603,365 ÷ 2 = 22,801,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,801,682.5 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 | 45,603,365 | |
| -1 | -45,603,365 |
Now, we try dividing 45,603,365 by 3:
45,603,365 ÷ 3 = 15,201,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,201,121.6667 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 | 45,603,365 | |
| -1 | -45,603,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,603,365 ÷ 4 = 11,400,841.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,400,841.25 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 | 45,603,365 | |
| -1 | 45,603,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 257 | 1,285 | 1,543 | 5,911 | 7,715 | 29,555 | 35,489 | 177,445 | 396,551 | 1,982,755 | 9,120,673 | 45,603,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -257 | -1,285 | -1,543 | -5,911 | -7,715 | -29,555 | -35,489 | -177,445 | -396,551 | -1,982,755 | -9,120,673 | -45,603,365 |
