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 47,011,237, 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 | 47,011,237 | |
| -1 | -47,011,237 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,011,237.
Example:
1 x 47,011,237 = 47,011,237
and
-1 x -47,011,237 = 47,011,237
Notice both answers equal 47,011,237
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,011,237 and divide it by 2:
47,011,237 ÷ 2 = 23,505,618.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,505,618.5 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 | 47,011,237 | |
| -1 | -47,011,237 |
Now, we try dividing 47,011,237 by 3:
47,011,237 ÷ 3 = 15,670,412.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,670,412.3333 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 | 47,011,237 | |
| -1 | -47,011,237 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,011,237 ÷ 4 = 11,752,809.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,752,809.25 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 | 47,011,237 | |
| -1 | 47,011,237 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 169 | 343 | 637 | 811 | 1,183 | 4,459 | 5,677 | 8,281 | 10,543 | 39,739 | 57,967 | 73,801 | 137,059 | 278,173 | 516,607 | 959,413 | 3,616,249 | 6,715,891 | 47,011,237 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -169 | -343 | -637 | -811 | -1,183 | -4,459 | -5,677 | -8,281 | -10,543 | -39,739 | -57,967 | -73,801 | -137,059 | -278,173 | -516,607 | -959,413 | -3,616,249 | -6,715,891 | -47,011,237 |
