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 46,156,375, 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 | 46,156,375 | |
| -1 | -46,156,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,156,375.
Example:
1 x 46,156,375 = 46,156,375
and
-1 x -46,156,375 = 46,156,375
Notice both answers equal 46,156,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,156,375 and divide it by 2:
46,156,375 ÷ 2 = 23,078,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,078,187.5 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 | 46,156,375 | |
| -1 | -46,156,375 |
Now, we try dividing 46,156,375 by 3:
46,156,375 ÷ 3 = 15,385,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,385,458.3333 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 | 46,156,375 | |
| -1 | -46,156,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,156,375 ÷ 4 = 11,539,093.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,539,093.75 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 | 46,156,375 | |
| -1 | 46,156,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 53 | 125 | 265 | 1,325 | 6,625 | 6,967 | 34,835 | 174,175 | 369,251 | 870,875 | 1,846,255 | 9,231,275 | 46,156,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -53 | -125 | -265 | -1,325 | -6,625 | -6,967 | -34,835 | -174,175 | -369,251 | -870,875 | -1,846,255 | -9,231,275 | -46,156,375 |
