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 47,608,033, 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 | 47,608,033 | |
| -1 | -47,608,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,608,033.
Example:
1 x 47,608,033 = 47,608,033
and
-1 x -47,608,033 = 47,608,033
Notice both answers equal 47,608,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,608,033 and divide it by 2:
47,608,033 ÷ 2 = 23,804,016.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,804,016.5 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 | 47,608,033 | |
| -1 | -47,608,033 |
Now, we try dividing 47,608,033 by 3:
47,608,033 ÷ 3 = 15,869,344.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,869,344.3333 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 | 47,608,033 | |
| -1 | -47,608,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,608,033 ÷ 4 = 11,902,008.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,902,008.25 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 | 47,608,033 | |
| -1 | 47,608,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 149 | 341 | 937 | 1,639 | 4,619 | 10,307 | 29,047 | 50,809 | 139,613 | 319,517 | 1,535,743 | 4,328,003 | 47,608,033 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -149 | -341 | -937 | -1,639 | -4,619 | -10,307 | -29,047 | -50,809 | -139,613 | -319,517 | -1,535,743 | -4,328,003 | -47,608,033 |
