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 46,000,625, 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 | 46,000,625 | |
| -1 | -46,000,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,000,625.
Example:
1 x 46,000,625 = 46,000,625
and
-1 x -46,000,625 = 46,000,625
Notice both answers equal 46,000,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,000,625 and divide it by 2:
46,000,625 ÷ 2 = 23,000,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,000,312.5 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 | 46,000,625 | |
| -1 | -46,000,625 |
Now, we try dividing 46,000,625 by 3:
46,000,625 ÷ 3 = 15,333,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,333,541.6667 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 | 46,000,625 | |
| -1 | -46,000,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,000,625 ÷ 4 = 11,500,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,500,156.25 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 | 46,000,625 | |
| -1 | 46,000,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 625 | 1,375 | 6,691 | 6,875 | 33,455 | 73,601 | 167,275 | 368,005 | 836,375 | 1,840,025 | 4,181,875 | 9,200,125 | 46,000,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -625 | -1,375 | -6,691 | -6,875 | -33,455 | -73,601 | -167,275 | -368,005 | -836,375 | -1,840,025 | -4,181,875 | -9,200,125 | -46,000,625 |
