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 47,051,771, 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 | 47,051,771 | |
| -1 | -47,051,771 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,051,771.
Example:
1 x 47,051,771 = 47,051,771
and
-1 x -47,051,771 = 47,051,771
Notice both answers equal 47,051,771
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,051,771 and divide it by 2:
47,051,771 ÷ 2 = 23,525,885.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,525,885.5 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 | 47,051,771 | |
| -1 | -47,051,771 |
Now, we try dividing 47,051,771 by 3:
47,051,771 ÷ 3 = 15,683,923.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,683,923.6667 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 | 47,051,771 | |
| -1 | -47,051,771 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,051,771 ÷ 4 = 11,762,942.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,762,942.75 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 | 47,051,771 | |
| -1 | 47,051,771 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 71 | 247 | 923 | 1,349 | 2,683 | 17,537 | 34,879 | 50,977 | 190,493 | 662,701 | 2,476,409 | 3,619,367 | 47,051,771 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -71 | -247 | -923 | -1,349 | -2,683 | -17,537 | -34,879 | -50,977 | -190,493 | -662,701 | -2,476,409 | -3,619,367 | -47,051,771 |
