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 46,926,955, 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 | 46,926,955 | |
| -1 | -46,926,955 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 46,926,955.
Example:
1 x 46,926,955 = 46,926,955
and
-1 x -46,926,955 = 46,926,955
Notice both answers equal 46,926,955
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 46,926,955 and divide it by 2:
46,926,955 ÷ 2 = 23,463,477.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,463,477.5 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 | 46,926,955 | |
| -1 | -46,926,955 |
Now, we try dividing 46,926,955 by 3:
46,926,955 ÷ 3 = 15,642,318.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,642,318.3333 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 | 46,926,955 | |
| -1 | -46,926,955 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
46,926,955 ÷ 4 = 11,731,738.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,731,738.75 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 | 46,926,955 | |
| -1 | 46,926,955 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 73 | 83 | 365 | 415 | 1,549 | 6,059 | 7,745 | 30,295 | 113,077 | 128,567 | 565,385 | 642,835 | 9,385,391 | 46,926,955 |
| -1 | -5 | -73 | -83 | -365 | -415 | -1,549 | -6,059 | -7,745 | -30,295 | -113,077 | -128,567 | -565,385 | -642,835 | -9,385,391 | -46,926,955 |
