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 47,257,301, 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 | 47,257,301 | |
| -1 | -47,257,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,257,301.
Example:
1 x 47,257,301 = 47,257,301
and
-1 x -47,257,301 = 47,257,301
Notice both answers equal 47,257,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,257,301 and divide it by 2:
47,257,301 ÷ 2 = 23,628,650.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,628,650.5 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 | 47,257,301 | |
| -1 | -47,257,301 |
Now, we try dividing 47,257,301 by 3:
47,257,301 ÷ 3 = 15,752,433.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,752,433.6667 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 | 47,257,301 | |
| -1 | -47,257,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,257,301 ÷ 4 = 11,814,325.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,814,325.25 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 | 47,257,301 | |
| -1 | 47,257,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 43 | 91 | 169 | 301 | 559 | 929 | 1,183 | 3,913 | 6,503 | 7,267 | 12,077 | 39,947 | 50,869 | 84,539 | 157,001 | 279,629 | 519,311 | 1,099,007 | 3,635,177 | 6,751,043 | 47,257,301 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -43 | -91 | -169 | -301 | -559 | -929 | -1,183 | -3,913 | -6,503 | -7,267 | -12,077 | -39,947 | -50,869 | -84,539 | -157,001 | -279,629 | -519,311 | -1,099,007 | -3,635,177 | -6,751,043 | -47,257,301 |
