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 47,557,007, 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 | 47,557,007 | |
| -1 | -47,557,007 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,557,007.
Example:
1 x 47,557,007 = 47,557,007
and
-1 x -47,557,007 = 47,557,007
Notice both answers equal 47,557,007
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,557,007 and divide it by 2:
47,557,007 ÷ 2 = 23,778,503.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,778,503.5 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 | 47,557,007 | |
| -1 | -47,557,007 |
Now, we try dividing 47,557,007 by 3:
47,557,007 ÷ 3 = 15,852,335.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,852,335.6667 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 | 47,557,007 | |
| -1 | -47,557,007 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,557,007 ÷ 4 = 11,889,251.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,889,251.75 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 | 47,557,007 | |
| -1 | 47,557,007 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 41 | 71 | 527 | 697 | 961 | 1,207 | 1,271 | 2,201 | 2,911 | 16,337 | 21,607 | 37,417 | 39,401 | 49,487 | 68,231 | 90,241 | 669,817 | 1,159,927 | 1,534,097 | 2,797,471 | 47,557,007 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -41 | -71 | -527 | -697 | -961 | -1,207 | -1,271 | -2,201 | -2,911 | -16,337 | -21,607 | -37,417 | -39,401 | -49,487 | -68,231 | -90,241 | -669,817 | -1,159,927 | -1,534,097 | -2,797,471 | -47,557,007 |
