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 46,471,513, 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 | 46,471,513 | |
| -1 | -46,471,513 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,471,513.
Example:
1 x 46,471,513 = 46,471,513
and
-1 x -46,471,513 = 46,471,513
Notice both answers equal 46,471,513
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,471,513 and divide it by 2:
46,471,513 ÷ 2 = 23,235,756.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,235,756.5 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 | 46,471,513 | |
| -1 | -46,471,513 |
Now, we try dividing 46,471,513 by 3:
46,471,513 ÷ 3 = 15,490,504.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,490,504.3333 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 | 46,471,513 | |
| -1 | -46,471,513 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,471,513 ÷ 4 = 11,617,878.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,617,878.25 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 | 46,471,513 | |
| -1 | 46,471,513 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 79 | 583 | 869 | 1,009 | 4,187 | 11,099 | 46,057 | 53,477 | 79,711 | 588,247 | 876,821 | 4,224,683 | 46,471,513 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -79 | -583 | -869 | -1,009 | -4,187 | -11,099 | -46,057 | -53,477 | -79,711 | -588,247 | -876,821 | -4,224,683 | -46,471,513 |
