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 47,402,701, 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 | 47,402,701 | |
| -1 | -47,402,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,402,701.
Example:
1 x 47,402,701 = 47,402,701
and
-1 x -47,402,701 = 47,402,701
Notice both answers equal 47,402,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,402,701 and divide it by 2:
47,402,701 ÷ 2 = 23,701,350.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,701,350.5 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 | 47,402,701 | |
| -1 | -47,402,701 |
Now, we try dividing 47,402,701 by 3:
47,402,701 ÷ 3 = 15,800,900.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,800,900.3333 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 | 47,402,701 | |
| -1 | -47,402,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,402,701 ÷ 4 = 11,850,675.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,850,675.25 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 | 47,402,701 | |
| -1 | 47,402,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 67 | 437 | 1,273 | 1,541 | 1,619 | 29,279 | 30,761 | 37,237 | 108,473 | 707,503 | 2,060,987 | 2,494,879 | 47,402,701 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -67 | -437 | -1,273 | -1,541 | -1,619 | -29,279 | -30,761 | -37,237 | -108,473 | -707,503 | -2,060,987 | -2,494,879 | -47,402,701 |
