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 45,815, 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 | 45,815 | |
| -1 | -45,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,815.
Example:
1 x 45,815 = 45,815
and
-1 x -45,815 = 45,815
Notice both answers equal 45,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,815 and divide it by 2:
45,815 ÷ 2 = 22,907.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,907.5 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 | 45,815 | |
| -1 | -45,815 |
Now, we try dividing 45,815 by 3:
45,815 ÷ 3 = 15,271.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,271.6667 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 | 45,815 | |
| -1 | -45,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,815 ÷ 4 = 11,453.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,453.75 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 | 45,815 | |
| -1 | 45,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 35 | 49 | 55 | 77 | 85 | 119 | 187 | 245 | 385 | 539 | 595 | 833 | 935 | 1,309 | 2,695 | 4,165 | 6,545 | 9,163 | 45,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -35 | -49 | -55 | -77 | -85 | -119 | -187 | -245 | -385 | -539 | -595 | -833 | -935 | -1,309 | -2,695 | -4,165 | -6,545 | -9,163 | -45,815 |
