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 46,410,635, 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 | 46,410,635 | |
| -1 | -46,410,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,410,635.
Example:
1 x 46,410,635 = 46,410,635
and
-1 x -46,410,635 = 46,410,635
Notice both answers equal 46,410,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,410,635 and divide it by 2:
46,410,635 ÷ 2 = 23,205,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,205,317.5 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 | 46,410,635 | |
| -1 | -46,410,635 |
Now, we try dividing 46,410,635 by 3:
46,410,635 ÷ 3 = 15,470,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,470,211.6667 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 | 46,410,635 | |
| -1 | -46,410,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,410,635 ÷ 4 = 11,602,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,602,658.75 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 | 46,410,635 | |
| -1 | 46,410,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 457 | 1,069 | 2,285 | 5,345 | 8,683 | 20,311 | 43,415 | 101,555 | 488,533 | 2,442,665 | 9,282,127 | 46,410,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -457 | -1,069 | -2,285 | -5,345 | -8,683 | -20,311 | -43,415 | -101,555 | -488,533 | -2,442,665 | -9,282,127 | -46,410,635 |
