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 46,446,155, 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 | 46,446,155 | |
| -1 | -46,446,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,446,155.
Example:
1 x 46,446,155 = 46,446,155
and
-1 x -46,446,155 = 46,446,155
Notice both answers equal 46,446,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,446,155 and divide it by 2:
46,446,155 ÷ 2 = 23,223,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,223,077.5 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 | 46,446,155 | |
| -1 | -46,446,155 |
Now, we try dividing 46,446,155 by 3:
46,446,155 ÷ 3 = 15,482,051.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,482,051.6667 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 | 46,446,155 | |
| -1 | -46,446,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,446,155 ÷ 4 = 11,611,538.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,611,538.75 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 | 46,446,155 | |
| -1 | 46,446,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 139 | 695 | 973 | 4,865 | 9,547 | 47,735 | 66,829 | 334,145 | 1,327,033 | 6,635,165 | 9,289,231 | 46,446,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -139 | -695 | -973 | -4,865 | -9,547 | -47,735 | -66,829 | -334,145 | -1,327,033 | -6,635,165 | -9,289,231 | -46,446,155 |
