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 47,253,269, 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 | 47,253,269 | |
| -1 | -47,253,269 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,253,269.
Example:
1 x 47,253,269 = 47,253,269
and
-1 x -47,253,269 = 47,253,269
Notice both answers equal 47,253,269
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,253,269 and divide it by 2:
47,253,269 ÷ 2 = 23,626,634.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,626,634.5 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 | 47,253,269 | |
| -1 | -47,253,269 |
Now, we try dividing 47,253,269 by 3:
47,253,269 ÷ 3 = 15,751,089.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,751,089.6667 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 | 47,253,269 | |
| -1 | -47,253,269 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,253,269 ÷ 4 = 11,813,317.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,813,317.25 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 | 47,253,269 | |
| -1 | 47,253,269 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 71 | 217 | 497 | 2,201 | 3,067 | 15,407 | 21,469 | 95,077 | 217,757 | 665,539 | 1,524,299 | 6,750,467 | 47,253,269 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -71 | -217 | -497 | -2,201 | -3,067 | -15,407 | -21,469 | -95,077 | -217,757 | -665,539 | -1,524,299 | -6,750,467 | -47,253,269 |
