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 46,510,835, 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 | 46,510,835 | |
| -1 | -46,510,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,510,835.
Example:
1 x 46,510,835 = 46,510,835
and
-1 x -46,510,835 = 46,510,835
Notice both answers equal 46,510,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,510,835 and divide it by 2:
46,510,835 ÷ 2 = 23,255,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,255,417.5 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 | 46,510,835 | |
| -1 | -46,510,835 |
Now, we try dividing 46,510,835 by 3:
46,510,835 ÷ 3 = 15,503,611.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,503,611.6667 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 | 46,510,835 | |
| -1 | -46,510,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,510,835 ÷ 4 = 11,627,708.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,627,708.75 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 | 46,510,835 | |
| -1 | 46,510,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,039 | 1,279 | 5,195 | 6,395 | 7,273 | 8,953 | 36,365 | 44,765 | 1,328,881 | 6,644,405 | 9,302,167 | 46,510,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,039 | -1,279 | -5,195 | -6,395 | -7,273 | -8,953 | -36,365 | -44,765 | -1,328,881 | -6,644,405 | -9,302,167 | -46,510,835 |
