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 46,890,029, 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 | 46,890,029 | |
| -1 | -46,890,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,890,029.
Example:
1 x 46,890,029 = 46,890,029
and
-1 x -46,890,029 = 46,890,029
Notice both answers equal 46,890,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,890,029 and divide it by 2:
46,890,029 ÷ 2 = 23,445,014.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,445,014.5 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 | 46,890,029 | |
| -1 | -46,890,029 |
Now, we try dividing 46,890,029 by 3:
46,890,029 ÷ 3 = 15,630,009.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,630,009.6667 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 | 46,890,029 | |
| -1 | -46,890,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,890,029 ÷ 4 = 11,722,507.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,722,507.25 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 | 46,890,029 | |
| -1 | 46,890,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 61 | 103 | 439 | 1,037 | 1,751 | 6,283 | 7,463 | 26,779 | 45,217 | 106,811 | 455,243 | 768,689 | 2,758,237 | 46,890,029 |
| -1 | -17 | -61 | -103 | -439 | -1,037 | -1,751 | -6,283 | -7,463 | -26,779 | -45,217 | -106,811 | -455,243 | -768,689 | -2,758,237 | -46,890,029 |
