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 47,321,575, 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 | 47,321,575 | |
| -1 | -47,321,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,321,575.
Example:
1 x 47,321,575 = 47,321,575
and
-1 x -47,321,575 = 47,321,575
Notice both answers equal 47,321,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,321,575 and divide it by 2:
47,321,575 ÷ 2 = 23,660,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,660,787.5 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 | 47,321,575 | |
| -1 | -47,321,575 |
Now, we try dividing 47,321,575 by 3:
47,321,575 ÷ 3 = 15,773,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,773,858.3333 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 | 47,321,575 | |
| -1 | -47,321,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,321,575 ÷ 4 = 11,830,393.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,830,393.75 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 | 47,321,575 | |
| -1 | 47,321,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 113 | 175 | 565 | 791 | 2,393 | 2,825 | 3,955 | 11,965 | 16,751 | 19,775 | 59,825 | 83,755 | 270,409 | 418,775 | 1,352,045 | 1,892,863 | 6,760,225 | 9,464,315 | 47,321,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -113 | -175 | -565 | -791 | -2,393 | -2,825 | -3,955 | -11,965 | -16,751 | -19,775 | -59,825 | -83,755 | -270,409 | -418,775 | -1,352,045 | -1,892,863 | -6,760,225 | -9,464,315 | -47,321,575 |
