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 45,632,455, 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 | 45,632,455 | |
| -1 | -45,632,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,632,455.
Example:
1 x 45,632,455 = 45,632,455
and
-1 x -45,632,455 = 45,632,455
Notice both answers equal 45,632,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,632,455 and divide it by 2:
45,632,455 ÷ 2 = 22,816,227.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,816,227.5 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 | 45,632,455 | |
| -1 | -45,632,455 |
Now, we try dividing 45,632,455 by 3:
45,632,455 ÷ 3 = 15,210,818.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,210,818.3333 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 | 45,632,455 | |
| -1 | -45,632,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,632,455 ÷ 4 = 11,408,113.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,408,113.75 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 | 45,632,455 | |
| -1 | 45,632,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 659 | 1,259 | 3,295 | 6,295 | 7,249 | 13,849 | 36,245 | 69,245 | 829,681 | 4,148,405 | 9,126,491 | 45,632,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -659 | -1,259 | -3,295 | -6,295 | -7,249 | -13,849 | -36,245 | -69,245 | -829,681 | -4,148,405 | -9,126,491 | -45,632,455 |
