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 46,140,605, 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 | 46,140,605 | |
| -1 | -46,140,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,140,605.
Example:
1 x 46,140,605 = 46,140,605
and
-1 x -46,140,605 = 46,140,605
Notice both answers equal 46,140,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,140,605 and divide it by 2:
46,140,605 ÷ 2 = 23,070,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,070,302.5 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 | 46,140,605 | |
| -1 | -46,140,605 |
Now, we try dividing 46,140,605 by 3:
46,140,605 ÷ 3 = 15,380,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,380,201.6667 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 | 46,140,605 | |
| -1 | -46,140,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,140,605 ÷ 4 = 11,535,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,535,151.25 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 | 46,140,605 | |
| -1 | 46,140,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 47 | 49 | 235 | 245 | 329 | 1,645 | 2,303 | 4,007 | 11,515 | 20,035 | 28,049 | 140,245 | 188,329 | 196,343 | 941,645 | 981,715 | 1,318,303 | 6,591,515 | 9,228,121 | 46,140,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -47 | -49 | -235 | -245 | -329 | -1,645 | -2,303 | -4,007 | -11,515 | -20,035 | -28,049 | -140,245 | -188,329 | -196,343 | -941,645 | -981,715 | -1,318,303 | -6,591,515 | -9,228,121 | -46,140,605 |
