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 46,484,305, 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 | 46,484,305 | |
| -1 | -46,484,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,484,305.
Example:
1 x 46,484,305 = 46,484,305
and
-1 x -46,484,305 = 46,484,305
Notice both answers equal 46,484,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,484,305 and divide it by 2:
46,484,305 ÷ 2 = 23,242,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,242,152.5 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 | 46,484,305 | |
| -1 | -46,484,305 |
Now, we try dividing 46,484,305 by 3:
46,484,305 ÷ 3 = 15,494,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,494,768.3333 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 | 46,484,305 | |
| -1 | -46,484,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,484,305 ÷ 4 = 11,621,076.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,621,076.25 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 | 46,484,305 | |
| -1 | 46,484,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 239 | 1,195 | 1,673 | 5,557 | 8,365 | 27,785 | 38,899 | 194,495 | 1,328,123 | 6,640,615 | 9,296,861 | 46,484,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -239 | -1,195 | -1,673 | -5,557 | -8,365 | -27,785 | -38,899 | -194,495 | -1,328,123 | -6,640,615 | -9,296,861 | -46,484,305 |
