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 47,659,705, 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 | 47,659,705 | |
| -1 | -47,659,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,659,705.
Example:
1 x 47,659,705 = 47,659,705
and
-1 x -47,659,705 = 47,659,705
Notice both answers equal 47,659,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,659,705 and divide it by 2:
47,659,705 ÷ 2 = 23,829,852.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,829,852.5 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 | 47,659,705 | |
| -1 | -47,659,705 |
Now, we try dividing 47,659,705 by 3:
47,659,705 ÷ 3 = 15,886,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,886,568.3333 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 | 47,659,705 | |
| -1 | -47,659,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,659,705 ÷ 4 = 11,914,926.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,914,926.25 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 | 47,659,705 | |
| -1 | 47,659,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 109 | 157 | 545 | 557 | 785 | 2,785 | 17,113 | 60,713 | 85,565 | 87,449 | 303,565 | 437,245 | 9,531,941 | 47,659,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -109 | -157 | -545 | -557 | -785 | -2,785 | -17,113 | -60,713 | -85,565 | -87,449 | -303,565 | -437,245 | -9,531,941 | -47,659,705 |
