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 47,276,425, 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 | 47,276,425 | |
| -1 | -47,276,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,276,425.
Example:
1 x 47,276,425 = 47,276,425
and
-1 x -47,276,425 = 47,276,425
Notice both answers equal 47,276,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,276,425 and divide it by 2:
47,276,425 ÷ 2 = 23,638,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,638,212.5 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 | 47,276,425 | |
| -1 | -47,276,425 |
Now, we try dividing 47,276,425 by 3:
47,276,425 ÷ 3 = 15,758,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,758,808.3333 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 | 47,276,425 | |
| -1 | -47,276,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,276,425 ÷ 4 = 11,819,106.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,819,106.25 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 | 47,276,425 | |
| -1 | 47,276,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 1,225 | 38,593 | 192,965 | 270,151 | 964,825 | 1,350,755 | 1,891,057 | 6,753,775 | 9,455,285 | 47,276,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -1,225 | -38,593 | -192,965 | -270,151 | -964,825 | -1,350,755 | -1,891,057 | -6,753,775 | -9,455,285 | -47,276,425 |
