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 46,025,045, 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 | 46,025,045 | |
| -1 | -46,025,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,025,045.
Example:
1 x 46,025,045 = 46,025,045
and
-1 x -46,025,045 = 46,025,045
Notice both answers equal 46,025,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,025,045 and divide it by 2:
46,025,045 ÷ 2 = 23,012,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,012,522.5 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 | 46,025,045 | |
| -1 | -46,025,045 |
Now, we try dividing 46,025,045 by 3:
46,025,045 ÷ 3 = 15,341,681.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,341,681.6667 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 | 46,025,045 | |
| -1 | -46,025,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,025,045 ÷ 4 = 11,506,261.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,506,261.25 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 | 46,025,045 | |
| -1 | 46,025,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 97 | 485 | 1,067 | 5,335 | 8,627 | 43,135 | 94,897 | 474,485 | 836,819 | 4,184,095 | 9,205,009 | 46,025,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -97 | -485 | -1,067 | -5,335 | -8,627 | -43,135 | -94,897 | -474,485 | -836,819 | -4,184,095 | -9,205,009 | -46,025,045 |
