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 46,211,035, 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 | 46,211,035 | |
| -1 | -46,211,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,211,035.
Example:
1 x 46,211,035 = 46,211,035
and
-1 x -46,211,035 = 46,211,035
Notice both answers equal 46,211,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,211,035 and divide it by 2:
46,211,035 ÷ 2 = 23,105,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,105,517.5 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 | 46,211,035 | |
| -1 | -46,211,035 |
Now, we try dividing 46,211,035 by 3:
46,211,035 ÷ 3 = 15,403,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,403,678.3333 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 | 46,211,035 | |
| -1 | -46,211,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,211,035 ÷ 4 = 11,552,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,552,758.75 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 | 46,211,035 | |
| -1 | 46,211,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 101 | 505 | 1,313 | 6,565 | 7,039 | 35,195 | 91,507 | 457,535 | 710,939 | 3,554,695 | 9,242,207 | 46,211,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -101 | -505 | -1,313 | -6,565 | -7,039 | -35,195 | -91,507 | -457,535 | -710,939 | -3,554,695 | -9,242,207 | -46,211,035 |
