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 47,581,235, 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 | 47,581,235 | |
| -1 | -47,581,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,581,235.
Example:
1 x 47,581,235 = 47,581,235
and
-1 x -47,581,235 = 47,581,235
Notice both answers equal 47,581,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,581,235 and divide it by 2:
47,581,235 ÷ 2 = 23,790,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,790,617.5 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 | 47,581,235 | |
| -1 | -47,581,235 |
Now, we try dividing 47,581,235 by 3:
47,581,235 ÷ 3 = 15,860,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,860,411.6667 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 | 47,581,235 | |
| -1 | -47,581,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,581,235 ÷ 4 = 11,895,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,895,308.75 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 | 47,581,235 | |
| -1 | 47,581,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 757 | 967 | 3,785 | 4,835 | 9,841 | 12,571 | 49,205 | 62,855 | 732,019 | 3,660,095 | 9,516,247 | 47,581,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -757 | -967 | -3,785 | -4,835 | -9,841 | -12,571 | -49,205 | -62,855 | -732,019 | -3,660,095 | -9,516,247 | -47,581,235 |
