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 46,451,113, 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 | 46,451,113 | |
| -1 | -46,451,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,451,113.
Example:
1 x 46,451,113 = 46,451,113
and
-1 x -46,451,113 = 46,451,113
Notice both answers equal 46,451,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,451,113 and divide it by 2:
46,451,113 ÷ 2 = 23,225,556.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,225,556.5 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 | 46,451,113 | |
| -1 | -46,451,113 |
Now, we try dividing 46,451,113 by 3:
46,451,113 ÷ 3 = 15,483,704.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,483,704.3333 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 | 46,451,113 | |
| -1 | -46,451,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,451,113 ÷ 4 = 11,612,778.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,612,778.25 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 | 46,451,113 | |
| -1 | 46,451,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 59 | 109 | 233 | 1,829 | 3,379 | 6,431 | 7,223 | 13,747 | 25,397 | 199,361 | 426,157 | 787,307 | 1,498,423 | 46,451,113 |
| -1 | -31 | -59 | -109 | -233 | -1,829 | -3,379 | -6,431 | -7,223 | -13,747 | -25,397 | -199,361 | -426,157 | -787,307 | -1,498,423 | -46,451,113 |
