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 46,410,527, 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 | 46,410,527 | |
| -1 | -46,410,527 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,410,527.
Example:
1 x 46,410,527 = 46,410,527
and
-1 x -46,410,527 = 46,410,527
Notice both answers equal 46,410,527
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,410,527 and divide it by 2:
46,410,527 ÷ 2 = 23,205,263.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,205,263.5 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 | 46,410,527 | |
| -1 | -46,410,527 |
Now, we try dividing 46,410,527 by 3:
46,410,527 ÷ 3 = 15,470,175.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,470,175.6667 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 | 46,410,527 | |
| -1 | -46,410,527 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,410,527 ÷ 4 = 11,602,631.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,602,631.75 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 | 46,410,527 | |
| -1 | 46,410,527 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 29 | 391 | 493 | 667 | 4,093 | 11,339 | 69,581 | 94,139 | 118,697 | 1,600,363 | 2,017,849 | 2,730,031 | 46,410,527 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -29 | -391 | -493 | -667 | -4,093 | -11,339 | -69,581 | -94,139 | -118,697 | -1,600,363 | -2,017,849 | -2,730,031 | -46,410,527 |
