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 46,044,167, 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 | 46,044,167 | |
| -1 | -46,044,167 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,044,167.
Example:
1 x 46,044,167 = 46,044,167
and
-1 x -46,044,167 = 46,044,167
Notice both answers equal 46,044,167
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,044,167 and divide it by 2:
46,044,167 ÷ 2 = 23,022,083.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,022,083.5 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 | 46,044,167 | |
| -1 | -46,044,167 |
Now, we try dividing 46,044,167 by 3:
46,044,167 ÷ 3 = 15,348,055.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,348,055.6667 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 | 46,044,167 | |
| -1 | -46,044,167 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,044,167 ÷ 4 = 11,511,041.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,511,041.75 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 | 46,044,167 | |
| -1 | 46,044,167 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 83 | 139 | 307 | 1,079 | 1,807 | 3,991 | 11,537 | 25,481 | 42,673 | 149,981 | 331,253 | 554,749 | 3,541,859 | 46,044,167 |
| -1 | -13 | -83 | -139 | -307 | -1,079 | -1,807 | -3,991 | -11,537 | -25,481 | -42,673 | -149,981 | -331,253 | -554,749 | -3,541,859 | -46,044,167 |
