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 46,173,335, 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 | 46,173,335 | |
| -1 | -46,173,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,173,335.
Example:
1 x 46,173,335 = 46,173,335
and
-1 x -46,173,335 = 46,173,335
Notice both answers equal 46,173,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,173,335 and divide it by 2:
46,173,335 ÷ 2 = 23,086,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,086,667.5 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 | 46,173,335 | |
| -1 | -46,173,335 |
Now, we try dividing 46,173,335 by 3:
46,173,335 ÷ 3 = 15,391,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,391,111.6667 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 | 46,173,335 | |
| -1 | -46,173,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,173,335 ÷ 4 = 11,543,333.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,543,333.75 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 | 46,173,335 | |
| -1 | 46,173,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 53 | 65 | 169 | 265 | 689 | 845 | 1,031 | 3,445 | 5,155 | 8,957 | 13,403 | 44,785 | 54,643 | 67,015 | 174,239 | 273,215 | 710,359 | 871,195 | 3,551,795 | 9,234,667 | 46,173,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -53 | -65 | -169 | -265 | -689 | -845 | -1,031 | -3,445 | -5,155 | -8,957 | -13,403 | -44,785 | -54,643 | -67,015 | -174,239 | -273,215 | -710,359 | -871,195 | -3,551,795 | -9,234,667 | -46,173,335 |
