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 46,825,505, 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 | 46,825,505 | |
| -1 | -46,825,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,825,505.
Example:
1 x 46,825,505 = 46,825,505
and
-1 x -46,825,505 = 46,825,505
Notice both answers equal 46,825,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,825,505 and divide it by 2:
46,825,505 ÷ 2 = 23,412,752.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,412,752.5 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 | 46,825,505 | |
| -1 | -46,825,505 |
Now, we try dividing 46,825,505 by 3:
46,825,505 ÷ 3 = 15,608,501.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,608,501.6667 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 | 46,825,505 | |
| -1 | -46,825,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,825,505 ÷ 4 = 11,706,376.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,706,376.25 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 | 46,825,505 | |
| -1 | 46,825,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 113 | 179 | 463 | 565 | 895 | 2,315 | 20,227 | 52,319 | 82,877 | 101,135 | 261,595 | 414,385 | 9,365,101 | 46,825,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -113 | -179 | -463 | -565 | -895 | -2,315 | -20,227 | -52,319 | -82,877 | -101,135 | -261,595 | -414,385 | -9,365,101 | -46,825,505 |
