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 47,314,565, 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 | 47,314,565 | |
| -1 | -47,314,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,314,565.
Example:
1 x 47,314,565 = 47,314,565
and
-1 x -47,314,565 = 47,314,565
Notice both answers equal 47,314,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,314,565 and divide it by 2:
47,314,565 ÷ 2 = 23,657,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,657,282.5 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 | 47,314,565 | |
| -1 | -47,314,565 |
Now, we try dividing 47,314,565 by 3:
47,314,565 ÷ 3 = 15,771,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,771,521.6667 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 | 47,314,565 | |
| -1 | -47,314,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,314,565 ÷ 4 = 11,828,641.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,828,641.25 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 | 47,314,565 | |
| -1 | 47,314,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 83 | 115 | 415 | 1,909 | 4,957 | 9,545 | 24,785 | 114,011 | 411,431 | 570,055 | 2,057,155 | 9,462,913 | 47,314,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -83 | -115 | -415 | -1,909 | -4,957 | -9,545 | -24,785 | -114,011 | -411,431 | -570,055 | -2,057,155 | -9,462,913 | -47,314,565 |
