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 46,297,111, 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 | 46,297,111 | |
| -1 | -46,297,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,297,111.
Example:
1 x 46,297,111 = 46,297,111
and
-1 x -46,297,111 = 46,297,111
Notice both answers equal 46,297,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,297,111 and divide it by 2:
46,297,111 ÷ 2 = 23,148,555.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,148,555.5 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 | 46,297,111 | |
| -1 | -46,297,111 |
Now, we try dividing 46,297,111 by 3:
46,297,111 ÷ 3 = 15,432,370.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,432,370.3333 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 | 46,297,111 | |
| -1 | -46,297,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,297,111 ÷ 4 = 11,574,277.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,574,277.75 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 | 46,297,111 | |
| -1 | 46,297,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 49 | 73 | 301 | 343 | 511 | 1,849 | 2,107 | 3,139 | 3,577 | 12,943 | 14,749 | 21,973 | 25,039 | 90,601 | 134,977 | 153,811 | 634,207 | 944,839 | 1,076,677 | 6,613,873 | 46,297,111 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -49 | -73 | -301 | -343 | -511 | -1,849 | -2,107 | -3,139 | -3,577 | -12,943 | -14,749 | -21,973 | -25,039 | -90,601 | -134,977 | -153,811 | -634,207 | -944,839 | -1,076,677 | -6,613,873 | -46,297,111 |
