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 46,243,625, 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 | 46,243,625 | |
| -1 | -46,243,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,243,625.
Example:
1 x 46,243,625 = 46,243,625
and
-1 x -46,243,625 = 46,243,625
Notice both answers equal 46,243,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,243,625 and divide it by 2:
46,243,625 ÷ 2 = 23,121,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,121,812.5 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 | 46,243,625 | |
| -1 | -46,243,625 |
Now, we try dividing 46,243,625 by 3:
46,243,625 ÷ 3 = 15,414,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,414,541.6667 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 | 46,243,625 | |
| -1 | -46,243,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,243,625 ÷ 4 = 11,560,906.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,560,906.25 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 | 46,243,625 | |
| -1 | 46,243,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 125 | 475 | 2,375 | 19,471 | 97,355 | 369,949 | 486,775 | 1,849,745 | 2,433,875 | 9,248,725 | 46,243,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -125 | -475 | -2,375 | -19,471 | -97,355 | -369,949 | -486,775 | -1,849,745 | -2,433,875 | -9,248,725 | -46,243,625 |
