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 46,430,449, 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 | 46,430,449 | |
| -1 | -46,430,449 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,430,449.
Example:
1 x 46,430,449 = 46,430,449
and
-1 x -46,430,449 = 46,430,449
Notice both answers equal 46,430,449
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,430,449 and divide it by 2:
46,430,449 ÷ 2 = 23,215,224.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,215,224.5 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 | 46,430,449 | |
| -1 | -46,430,449 |
Now, we try dividing 46,430,449 by 3:
46,430,449 ÷ 3 = 15,476,816.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,476,816.3333 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 | 46,430,449 | |
| -1 | -46,430,449 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,430,449 ÷ 4 = 11,607,612.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,607,612.25 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 | 46,430,449 | |
| -1 | 46,430,449 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 83 | 481 | 1,079 | 1,163 | 3,071 | 15,119 | 39,923 | 43,031 | 96,529 | 559,403 | 1,254,877 | 3,571,573 | 46,430,449 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -83 | -481 | -1,079 | -1,163 | -3,071 | -15,119 | -39,923 | -43,031 | -96,529 | -559,403 | -1,254,877 | -3,571,573 | -46,430,449 |
