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 45,738,823, 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 | 45,738,823 | |
| -1 | -45,738,823 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,738,823.
Example:
1 x 45,738,823 = 45,738,823
and
-1 x -45,738,823 = 45,738,823
Notice both answers equal 45,738,823
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,738,823 and divide it by 2:
45,738,823 ÷ 2 = 22,869,411.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,869,411.5 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 | 45,738,823 | |
| -1 | -45,738,823 |
Now, we try dividing 45,738,823 by 3:
45,738,823 ÷ 3 = 15,246,274.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,246,274.3333 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 | 45,738,823 | |
| -1 | -45,738,823 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,738,823 ÷ 4 = 11,434,705.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,434,705.75 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 | 45,738,823 | |
| -1 | 45,738,823 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 67 | 221 | 871 | 1,139 | 3,089 | 14,807 | 40,157 | 52,513 | 206,963 | 682,669 | 2,690,519 | 3,518,371 | 45,738,823 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -67 | -221 | -871 | -1,139 | -3,089 | -14,807 | -40,157 | -52,513 | -206,963 | -682,669 | -2,690,519 | -3,518,371 | -45,738,823 |
