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 46,762,345, 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 | 46,762,345 | |
| -1 | -46,762,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,762,345.
Example:
1 x 46,762,345 = 46,762,345
and
-1 x -46,762,345 = 46,762,345
Notice both answers equal 46,762,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,762,345 and divide it by 2:
46,762,345 ÷ 2 = 23,381,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,381,172.5 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 | 46,762,345 | |
| -1 | -46,762,345 |
Now, we try dividing 46,762,345 by 3:
46,762,345 ÷ 3 = 15,587,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,587,448.3333 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 | 46,762,345 | |
| -1 | -46,762,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,762,345 ÷ 4 = 11,690,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,690,586.25 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 | 46,762,345 | |
| -1 | 46,762,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 41 | 205 | 287 | 1,435 | 32,587 | 162,935 | 228,109 | 1,140,545 | 1,336,067 | 6,680,335 | 9,352,469 | 46,762,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -41 | -205 | -287 | -1,435 | -32,587 | -162,935 | -228,109 | -1,140,545 | -1,336,067 | -6,680,335 | -9,352,469 | -46,762,345 |
