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 46,044,239, 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 | 46,044,239 | |
| -1 | -46,044,239 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,044,239.
Example:
1 x 46,044,239 = 46,044,239
and
-1 x -46,044,239 = 46,044,239
Notice both answers equal 46,044,239
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,044,239 and divide it by 2:
46,044,239 ÷ 2 = 23,022,119.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,022,119.5 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 | 46,044,239 | |
| -1 | -46,044,239 |
Now, we try dividing 46,044,239 by 3:
46,044,239 ÷ 3 = 15,348,079.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,348,079.6667 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 | 46,044,239 | |
| -1 | -46,044,239 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,044,239 ÷ 4 = 11,511,059.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,511,059.75 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 | 46,044,239 | |
| -1 | 46,044,239 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 73 | 89 | 373 | 1,387 | 1,691 | 6,497 | 7,087 | 27,229 | 33,197 | 123,443 | 517,351 | 630,743 | 2,423,381 | 46,044,239 |
| -1 | -19 | -73 | -89 | -373 | -1,387 | -1,691 | -6,497 | -7,087 | -27,229 | -33,197 | -123,443 | -517,351 | -630,743 | -2,423,381 | -46,044,239 |
