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 47,441,245, 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 | 47,441,245 | |
| -1 | -47,441,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,441,245.
Example:
1 x 47,441,245 = 47,441,245
and
-1 x -47,441,245 = 47,441,245
Notice both answers equal 47,441,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,441,245 and divide it by 2:
47,441,245 ÷ 2 = 23,720,622.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,720,622.5 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 | 47,441,245 | |
| -1 | -47,441,245 |
Now, we try dividing 47,441,245 by 3:
47,441,245 ÷ 3 = 15,813,748.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,813,748.3333 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 | 47,441,245 | |
| -1 | -47,441,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,441,245 ÷ 4 = 11,860,311.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,860,311.25 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 | 47,441,245 | |
| -1 | 47,441,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 97 | 145 | 485 | 2,813 | 3,373 | 14,065 | 16,865 | 97,817 | 327,181 | 489,085 | 1,635,905 | 9,488,249 | 47,441,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -97 | -145 | -485 | -2,813 | -3,373 | -14,065 | -16,865 | -97,817 | -327,181 | -489,085 | -1,635,905 | -9,488,249 | -47,441,245 |
