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 46,736,365, 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 | 46,736,365 | |
| -1 | -46,736,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,736,365.
Example:
1 x 46,736,365 = 46,736,365
and
-1 x -46,736,365 = 46,736,365
Notice both answers equal 46,736,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,736,365 and divide it by 2:
46,736,365 ÷ 2 = 23,368,182.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,368,182.5 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 | 46,736,365 | |
| -1 | -46,736,365 |
Now, we try dividing 46,736,365 by 3:
46,736,365 ÷ 3 = 15,578,788.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,578,788.3333 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 | 46,736,365 | |
| -1 | -46,736,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,736,365 ÷ 4 = 11,684,091.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,684,091.25 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 | 46,736,365 | |
| -1 | 46,736,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 37 | 65 | 185 | 481 | 2,405 | 19,433 | 97,165 | 252,629 | 719,021 | 1,263,145 | 3,595,105 | 9,347,273 | 46,736,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -37 | -65 | -185 | -481 | -2,405 | -19,433 | -97,165 | -252,629 | -719,021 | -1,263,145 | -3,595,105 | -9,347,273 | -46,736,365 |
