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 46,420,619, 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 | 46,420,619 | |
| -1 | -46,420,619 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,420,619.
Example:
1 x 46,420,619 = 46,420,619
and
-1 x -46,420,619 = 46,420,619
Notice both answers equal 46,420,619
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,420,619 and divide it by 2:
46,420,619 ÷ 2 = 23,210,309.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,210,309.5 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 | 46,420,619 | |
| -1 | -46,420,619 |
Now, we try dividing 46,420,619 by 3:
46,420,619 ÷ 3 = 15,473,539.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,473,539.6667 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 | 46,420,619 | |
| -1 | -46,420,619 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,420,619 ÷ 4 = 11,605,154.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,605,154.75 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 | 46,420,619 | |
| -1 | 46,420,619 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 203 | 347 | 659 | 2,429 | 4,613 | 10,063 | 19,111 | 70,441 | 133,777 | 228,673 | 1,600,711 | 6,631,517 | 46,420,619 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -203 | -347 | -659 | -2,429 | -4,613 | -10,063 | -19,111 | -70,441 | -133,777 | -228,673 | -1,600,711 | -6,631,517 | -46,420,619 |
