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 47,073,467, 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 | 47,073,467 | |
| -1 | -47,073,467 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,073,467.
Example:
1 x 47,073,467 = 47,073,467
and
-1 x -47,073,467 = 47,073,467
Notice both answers equal 47,073,467
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,073,467 and divide it by 2:
47,073,467 ÷ 2 = 23,536,733.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,536,733.5 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 | 47,073,467 | |
| -1 | -47,073,467 |
Now, we try dividing 47,073,467 by 3:
47,073,467 ÷ 3 = 15,691,155.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,691,155.6667 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 | 47,073,467 | |
| -1 | -47,073,467 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,073,467 ÷ 4 = 11,768,366.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,768,366.75 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 | 47,073,467 | |
| -1 | 47,073,467 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 49 | 157 | 203 | 211 | 1,099 | 1,421 | 1,477 | 4,553 | 6,119 | 7,693 | 10,339 | 31,871 | 33,127 | 42,833 | 223,097 | 231,889 | 299,831 | 960,683 | 1,623,223 | 6,724,781 | 47,073,467 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -49 | -157 | -203 | -211 | -1,099 | -1,421 | -1,477 | -4,553 | -6,119 | -7,693 | -10,339 | -31,871 | -33,127 | -42,833 | -223,097 | -231,889 | -299,831 | -960,683 | -1,623,223 | -6,724,781 | -47,073,467 |
