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 46,041,151, 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 | 46,041,151 | |
| -1 | -46,041,151 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,041,151.
Example:
1 x 46,041,151 = 46,041,151
and
-1 x -46,041,151 = 46,041,151
Notice both answers equal 46,041,151
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,041,151 and divide it by 2:
46,041,151 ÷ 2 = 23,020,575.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,020,575.5 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 | 46,041,151 | |
| -1 | -46,041,151 |
Now, we try dividing 46,041,151 by 3:
46,041,151 ÷ 3 = 15,347,050.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,347,050.3333 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 | 46,041,151 | |
| -1 | -46,041,151 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,041,151 ÷ 4 = 11,510,287.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,510,287.75 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 | 46,041,151 | |
| -1 | 46,041,151 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 181 | 221 | 1,151 | 2,353 | 3,077 | 14,963 | 19,567 | 40,001 | 208,331 | 254,371 | 2,708,303 | 3,541,627 | 46,041,151 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -181 | -221 | -1,151 | -2,353 | -3,077 | -14,963 | -19,567 | -40,001 | -208,331 | -254,371 | -2,708,303 | -3,541,627 | -46,041,151 |
