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 45,871,325, 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 | 45,871,325 | |
| -1 | -45,871,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 45,871,325.
Example:
1 x 45,871,325 = 45,871,325
and
-1 x -45,871,325 = 45,871,325
Notice both answers equal 45,871,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 45,871,325 and divide it by 2:
45,871,325 ÷ 2 = 22,935,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,935,662.5 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 | 45,871,325 | |
| -1 | -45,871,325 |
Now, we try dividing 45,871,325 by 3:
45,871,325 ÷ 3 = 15,290,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,290,441.6667 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 | 45,871,325 | |
| -1 | -45,871,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
45,871,325 ÷ 4 = 11,467,831.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,467,831.25 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 | 45,871,325 | |
| -1 | 45,871,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 43 | 71 | 215 | 355 | 601 | 1,075 | 1,775 | 3,005 | 3,053 | 15,025 | 15,265 | 25,843 | 42,671 | 76,325 | 129,215 | 213,355 | 646,075 | 1,066,775 | 1,834,853 | 9,174,265 | 45,871,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -43 | -71 | -215 | -355 | -601 | -1,075 | -1,775 | -3,005 | -3,053 | -15,025 | -15,265 | -25,843 | -42,671 | -76,325 | -129,215 | -213,355 | -646,075 | -1,066,775 | -1,834,853 | -9,174,265 | -45,871,325 |
