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 46,762,807, 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 | 46,762,807 | |
| -1 | -46,762,807 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,762,807.
Example:
1 x 46,762,807 = 46,762,807
and
-1 x -46,762,807 = 46,762,807
Notice both answers equal 46,762,807
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,762,807 and divide it by 2:
46,762,807 ÷ 2 = 23,381,403.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,381,403.5 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 | 46,762,807 | |
| -1 | -46,762,807 |
Now, we try dividing 46,762,807 by 3:
46,762,807 ÷ 3 = 15,587,602.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,587,602.3333 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 | 46,762,807 | |
| -1 | -46,762,807 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,762,807 ÷ 4 = 11,690,701.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,690,701.75 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 | 46,762,807 | |
| -1 | 46,762,807 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 169 | 637 | 1,183 | 5,647 | 8,281 | 39,529 | 73,411 | 276,703 | 513,877 | 954,343 | 3,597,139 | 6,680,401 | 46,762,807 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -169 | -637 | -1,183 | -5,647 | -8,281 | -39,529 | -73,411 | -276,703 | -513,877 | -954,343 | -3,597,139 | -6,680,401 | -46,762,807 |
