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 46,564,735, 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 | 46,564,735 | |
| -1 | -46,564,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,564,735.
Example:
1 x 46,564,735 = 46,564,735
and
-1 x -46,564,735 = 46,564,735
Notice both answers equal 46,564,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,564,735 and divide it by 2:
46,564,735 ÷ 2 = 23,282,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,282,367.5 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 | 46,564,735 | |
| -1 | -46,564,735 |
Now, we try dividing 46,564,735 by 3:
46,564,735 ÷ 3 = 15,521,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,521,578.3333 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 | 46,564,735 | |
| -1 | -46,564,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,564,735 ÷ 4 = 11,641,183.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,641,183.75 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 | 46,564,735 | |
| -1 | 46,564,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 149 | 745 | 1,043 | 5,215 | 8,929 | 44,645 | 62,503 | 312,515 | 1,330,421 | 6,652,105 | 9,312,947 | 46,564,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -149 | -745 | -1,043 | -5,215 | -8,929 | -44,645 | -62,503 | -312,515 | -1,330,421 | -6,652,105 | -9,312,947 | -46,564,735 |
