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 47,534,345, 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 | 47,534,345 | |
| -1 | -47,534,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,534,345.
Example:
1 x 47,534,345 = 47,534,345
and
-1 x -47,534,345 = 47,534,345
Notice both answers equal 47,534,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,534,345 and divide it by 2:
47,534,345 ÷ 2 = 23,767,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,767,172.5 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 | 47,534,345 | |
| -1 | -47,534,345 |
Now, we try dividing 47,534,345 by 3:
47,534,345 ÷ 3 = 15,844,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,844,781.6667 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 | 47,534,345 | |
| -1 | -47,534,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,534,345 ÷ 4 = 11,883,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,883,586.25 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 | 47,534,345 | |
| -1 | 47,534,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 173 | 179 | 307 | 865 | 895 | 1,535 | 30,967 | 53,111 | 54,953 | 154,835 | 265,555 | 274,765 | 9,506,869 | 47,534,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -173 | -179 | -307 | -865 | -895 | -1,535 | -30,967 | -53,111 | -54,953 | -154,835 | -265,555 | -274,765 | -9,506,869 | -47,534,345 |
