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 47,573,383, 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 | 47,573,383 | |
| -1 | -47,573,383 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,573,383.
Example:
1 x 47,573,383 = 47,573,383
and
-1 x -47,573,383 = 47,573,383
Notice both answers equal 47,573,383
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,573,383 and divide it by 2:
47,573,383 ÷ 2 = 23,786,691.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,786,691.5 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 | 47,573,383 | |
| -1 | -47,573,383 |
Now, we try dividing 47,573,383 by 3:
47,573,383 ÷ 3 = 15,857,794.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,857,794.3333 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 | 47,573,383 | |
| -1 | -47,573,383 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,573,383 ÷ 4 = 11,893,345.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,893,345.75 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 | 47,573,383 | |
| -1 | 47,573,383 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 53 | 143 | 583 | 689 | 6,277 | 7,579 | 69,047 | 81,601 | 332,681 | 897,611 | 3,659,491 | 4,324,853 | 47,573,383 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -53 | -143 | -583 | -689 | -6,277 | -7,579 | -69,047 | -81,601 | -332,681 | -897,611 | -3,659,491 | -4,324,853 | -47,573,383 |
