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 47,362,307, 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 | 47,362,307 | |
| -1 | -47,362,307 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,362,307.
Example:
1 x 47,362,307 = 47,362,307
and
-1 x -47,362,307 = 47,362,307
Notice both answers equal 47,362,307
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,362,307 and divide it by 2:
47,362,307 ÷ 2 = 23,681,153.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,681,153.5 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 | 47,362,307 | |
| -1 | -47,362,307 |
Now, we try dividing 47,362,307 by 3:
47,362,307 ÷ 3 = 15,787,435.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,787,435.6667 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 | 47,362,307 | |
| -1 | -47,362,307 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,362,307 ÷ 4 = 11,840,576.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,840,576.75 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 | 47,362,307 | |
| -1 | 47,362,307 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 43 | 551 | 817 | 1,247 | 1,999 | 23,693 | 37,981 | 57,971 | 85,957 | 1,101,449 | 1,633,183 | 2,492,753 | 47,362,307 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -43 | -551 | -817 | -1,247 | -1,999 | -23,693 | -37,981 | -57,971 | -85,957 | -1,101,449 | -1,633,183 | -2,492,753 | -47,362,307 |
