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 46,165,115, 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 | 46,165,115 | |
| -1 | -46,165,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,165,115.
Example:
1 x 46,165,115 = 46,165,115
and
-1 x -46,165,115 = 46,165,115
Notice both answers equal 46,165,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,165,115 and divide it by 2:
46,165,115 ÷ 2 = 23,082,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,082,557.5 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 | 46,165,115 | |
| -1 | -46,165,115 |
Now, we try dividing 46,165,115 by 3:
46,165,115 ÷ 3 = 15,388,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,388,371.6667 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 | 46,165,115 | |
| -1 | -46,165,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,165,115 ÷ 4 = 11,541,278.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,541,278.75 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 | 46,165,115 | |
| -1 | 46,165,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 103 | 515 | 1,751 | 5,273 | 8,755 | 26,365 | 89,641 | 448,205 | 543,119 | 2,715,595 | 9,233,023 | 46,165,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -103 | -515 | -1,751 | -5,273 | -8,755 | -26,365 | -89,641 | -448,205 | -543,119 | -2,715,595 | -9,233,023 | -46,165,115 |
