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 46,630,693, 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 | 46,630,693 | |
| -1 | -46,630,693 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,630,693.
Example:
1 x 46,630,693 = 46,630,693
and
-1 x -46,630,693 = 46,630,693
Notice both answers equal 46,630,693
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,630,693 and divide it by 2:
46,630,693 ÷ 2 = 23,315,346.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,315,346.5 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 | 46,630,693 | |
| -1 | -46,630,693 |
Now, we try dividing 46,630,693 by 3:
46,630,693 ÷ 3 = 15,543,564.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,543,564.3333 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 | 46,630,693 | |
| -1 | -46,630,693 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,630,693 ÷ 4 = 11,657,673.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,657,673.25 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 | 46,630,693 | |
| -1 | 46,630,693 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 113 | 587 | 703 | 2,147 | 4,181 | 11,153 | 21,719 | 66,331 | 79,439 | 412,661 | 1,260,289 | 2,454,247 | 46,630,693 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -113 | -587 | -703 | -2,147 | -4,181 | -11,153 | -21,719 | -66,331 | -79,439 | -412,661 | -1,260,289 | -2,454,247 | -46,630,693 |
