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 47,335,409, 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 | 47,335,409 | |
| -1 | -47,335,409 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,335,409.
Example:
1 x 47,335,409 = 47,335,409
and
-1 x -47,335,409 = 47,335,409
Notice both answers equal 47,335,409
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,335,409 and divide it by 2:
47,335,409 ÷ 2 = 23,667,704.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,667,704.5 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 | 47,335,409 | |
| -1 | -47,335,409 |
Now, we try dividing 47,335,409 by 3:
47,335,409 ÷ 3 = 15,778,469.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,778,469.6667 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 | 47,335,409 | |
| -1 | -47,335,409 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,335,409 ÷ 4 = 11,833,852.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,833,852.25 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 | 47,335,409 | |
| -1 | 47,335,409 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 107 | 131 | 307 | 1,177 | 1,441 | 3,377 | 14,017 | 32,849 | 40,217 | 154,187 | 361,339 | 442,387 | 4,303,219 | 47,335,409 |
| -1 | -11 | -107 | -131 | -307 | -1,177 | -1,441 | -3,377 | -14,017 | -32,849 | -40,217 | -154,187 | -361,339 | -442,387 | -4,303,219 | -47,335,409 |
