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 46,116,301, 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 | 46,116,301 | |
| -1 | -46,116,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,116,301.
Example:
1 x 46,116,301 = 46,116,301
and
-1 x -46,116,301 = 46,116,301
Notice both answers equal 46,116,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,116,301 and divide it by 2:
46,116,301 ÷ 2 = 23,058,150.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,058,150.5 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 | 46,116,301 | |
| -1 | -46,116,301 |
Now, we try dividing 46,116,301 by 3:
46,116,301 ÷ 3 = 15,372,100.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,372,100.3333 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 | 46,116,301 | |
| -1 | -46,116,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,116,301 ÷ 4 = 11,529,075.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,529,075.25 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 | 46,116,301 | |
| -1 | 46,116,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 67 | 77 | 469 | 539 | 737 | 1,277 | 3,283 | 5,159 | 8,939 | 14,047 | 36,113 | 62,573 | 85,559 | 98,329 | 598,913 | 688,303 | 941,149 | 4,192,391 | 6,588,043 | 46,116,301 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -67 | -77 | -469 | -539 | -737 | -1,277 | -3,283 | -5,159 | -8,939 | -14,047 | -36,113 | -62,573 | -85,559 | -98,329 | -598,913 | -688,303 | -941,149 | -4,192,391 | -6,588,043 | -46,116,301 |
