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 46,021,235, 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 | 46,021,235 | |
| -1 | -46,021,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,021,235.
Example:
1 x 46,021,235 = 46,021,235
and
-1 x -46,021,235 = 46,021,235
Notice both answers equal 46,021,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,021,235 and divide it by 2:
46,021,235 ÷ 2 = 23,010,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,010,617.5 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 | 46,021,235 | |
| -1 | -46,021,235 |
Now, we try dividing 46,021,235 by 3:
46,021,235 ÷ 3 = 15,340,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,340,411.6667 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 | 46,021,235 | |
| -1 | -46,021,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,021,235 ÷ 4 = 11,505,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,505,308.75 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 | 46,021,235 | |
| -1 | 46,021,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 107 | 169 | 509 | 535 | 845 | 1,391 | 2,545 | 6,617 | 6,955 | 18,083 | 33,085 | 54,463 | 86,021 | 90,415 | 272,315 | 430,105 | 708,019 | 3,540,095 | 9,204,247 | 46,021,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -107 | -169 | -509 | -535 | -845 | -1,391 | -2,545 | -6,617 | -6,955 | -18,083 | -33,085 | -54,463 | -86,021 | -90,415 | -272,315 | -430,105 | -708,019 | -3,540,095 | -9,204,247 | -46,021,235 |
