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 46,121,125, 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 | 46,121,125 | |
| -1 | -46,121,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,121,125.
Example:
1 x 46,121,125 = 46,121,125
and
-1 x -46,121,125 = 46,121,125
Notice both answers equal 46,121,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,121,125 and divide it by 2:
46,121,125 ÷ 2 = 23,060,562.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,060,562.5 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 | 46,121,125 | |
| -1 | -46,121,125 |
Now, we try dividing 46,121,125 by 3:
46,121,125 ÷ 3 = 15,373,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,373,708.3333 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 | 46,121,125 | |
| -1 | -46,121,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,121,125 ÷ 4 = 11,530,281.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,530,281.25 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 | 46,121,125 | |
| -1 | 46,121,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 67 | 125 | 335 | 1,675 | 5,507 | 8,375 | 27,535 | 137,675 | 368,969 | 688,375 | 1,844,845 | 9,224,225 | 46,121,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -67 | -125 | -335 | -1,675 | -5,507 | -8,375 | -27,535 | -137,675 | -368,969 | -688,375 | -1,844,845 | -9,224,225 | -46,121,125 |
