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 47,321,603, 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 | 47,321,603 | |
| -1 | -47,321,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,321,603.
Example:
1 x 47,321,603 = 47,321,603
and
-1 x -47,321,603 = 47,321,603
Notice both answers equal 47,321,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,321,603 and divide it by 2:
47,321,603 ÷ 2 = 23,660,801.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,660,801.5 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 | 47,321,603 | |
| -1 | -47,321,603 |
Now, we try dividing 47,321,603 by 3:
47,321,603 ÷ 3 = 15,773,867.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,773,867.6667 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 | 47,321,603 | |
| -1 | -47,321,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,321,603 ÷ 4 = 11,830,400.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,830,400.75 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 | 47,321,603 | |
| -1 | 47,321,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 49 | 161 | 199 | 211 | 1,127 | 1,393 | 1,477 | 4,577 | 4,853 | 9,751 | 10,339 | 32,039 | 33,971 | 41,989 | 224,273 | 237,797 | 293,923 | 965,747 | 2,057,461 | 6,760,229 | 47,321,603 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -49 | -161 | -199 | -211 | -1,127 | -1,393 | -1,477 | -4,577 | -4,853 | -9,751 | -10,339 | -32,039 | -33,971 | -41,989 | -224,273 | -237,797 | -293,923 | -965,747 | -2,057,461 | -6,760,229 | -47,321,603 |
