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 46,651,555, 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 | 46,651,555 | |
| -1 | -46,651,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,651,555.
Example:
1 x 46,651,555 = 46,651,555
and
-1 x -46,651,555 = 46,651,555
Notice both answers equal 46,651,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,651,555 and divide it by 2:
46,651,555 ÷ 2 = 23,325,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,325,777.5 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 | 46,651,555 | |
| -1 | -46,651,555 |
Now, we try dividing 46,651,555 by 3:
46,651,555 ÷ 3 = 15,550,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,550,518.3333 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 | 46,651,555 | |
| -1 | -46,651,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,651,555 ÷ 4 = 11,662,888.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,662,888.75 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 | 46,651,555 | |
| -1 | 46,651,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 311 | 1,555 | 1,579 | 5,909 | 7,895 | 29,545 | 30,001 | 150,005 | 491,069 | 2,455,345 | 9,330,311 | 46,651,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -311 | -1,555 | -1,579 | -5,909 | -7,895 | -29,545 | -30,001 | -150,005 | -491,069 | -2,455,345 | -9,330,311 | -46,651,555 |
