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 47,250,769, 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 | 47,250,769 | |
| -1 | -47,250,769 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,250,769.
Example:
1 x 47,250,769 = 47,250,769
and
-1 x -47,250,769 = 47,250,769
Notice both answers equal 47,250,769
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,250,769 and divide it by 2:
47,250,769 ÷ 2 = 23,625,384.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,625,384.5 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 | 47,250,769 | |
| -1 | -47,250,769 |
Now, we try dividing 47,250,769 by 3:
47,250,769 ÷ 3 = 15,750,256.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,750,256.3333 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 | 47,250,769 | |
| -1 | -47,250,769 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,250,769 ÷ 4 = 11,812,692.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,812,692.25 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 | 47,250,769 | |
| -1 | 47,250,769 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 79 | 151 | 233 | 1,343 | 2,567 | 3,961 | 11,929 | 18,407 | 35,183 | 202,793 | 312,919 | 598,111 | 2,779,457 | 47,250,769 |
| -1 | -17 | -79 | -151 | -233 | -1,343 | -2,567 | -3,961 | -11,929 | -18,407 | -35,183 | -202,793 | -312,919 | -598,111 | -2,779,457 | -47,250,769 |
