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 47,134,373, 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 | 47,134,373 | |
| -1 | -47,134,373 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,134,373.
Example:
1 x 47,134,373 = 47,134,373
and
-1 x -47,134,373 = 47,134,373
Notice both answers equal 47,134,373
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,134,373 and divide it by 2:
47,134,373 ÷ 2 = 23,567,186.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,567,186.5 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 | 47,134,373 | |
| -1 | -47,134,373 |
Now, we try dividing 47,134,373 by 3:
47,134,373 ÷ 3 = 15,711,457.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,711,457.6667 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 | 47,134,373 | |
| -1 | -47,134,373 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,134,373 ÷ 4 = 11,783,593.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,783,593.25 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 | 47,134,373 | |
| -1 | 47,134,373 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 47 | 143 | 517 | 611 | 6,721 | 7,013 | 77,143 | 91,169 | 329,611 | 1,002,859 | 3,625,721 | 4,284,943 | 47,134,373 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -47 | -143 | -517 | -611 | -6,721 | -7,013 | -77,143 | -91,169 | -329,611 | -1,002,859 | -3,625,721 | -4,284,943 | -47,134,373 |
