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 47,277,415, 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 | 47,277,415 | |
| -1 | -47,277,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,277,415.
Example:
1 x 47,277,415 = 47,277,415
and
-1 x -47,277,415 = 47,277,415
Notice both answers equal 47,277,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,277,415 and divide it by 2:
47,277,415 ÷ 2 = 23,638,707.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,638,707.5 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 | 47,277,415 | |
| -1 | -47,277,415 |
Now, we try dividing 47,277,415 by 3:
47,277,415 ÷ 3 = 15,759,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,759,138.3333 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 | 47,277,415 | |
| -1 | -47,277,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,277,415 ÷ 4 = 11,819,353.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,819,353.75 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 | 47,277,415 | |
| -1 | 47,277,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 107 | 535 | 2,033 | 4,651 | 10,165 | 23,255 | 88,369 | 441,845 | 497,657 | 2,488,285 | 9,455,483 | 47,277,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -107 | -535 | -2,033 | -4,651 | -10,165 | -23,255 | -88,369 | -441,845 | -497,657 | -2,488,285 | -9,455,483 | -47,277,415 |
