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 47,814,481, 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 | 47,814,481 | |
| -1 | -47,814,481 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 47,814,481.
Example:
1 x 47,814,481 = 47,814,481
and
-1 x -47,814,481 = 47,814,481
Notice both answers equal 47,814,481
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 47,814,481 and divide it by 2:
47,814,481 ÷ 2 = 23,907,240.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 23,907,240.5 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 | 47,814,481 | |
| -1 | -47,814,481 |
Now, we try dividing 47,814,481 by 3:
47,814,481 ÷ 3 = 15,938,160.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 15,938,160.3333 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 | 47,814,481 | |
| -1 | -47,814,481 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
47,814,481 ÷ 4 = 11,953,620.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,953,620.25 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 | 47,814,481 | |
| -1 | 47,814,481 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 113 | 121 | 143 | 269 | 1,243 | 1,469 | 1,573 | 2,959 | 3,497 | 13,673 | 16,159 | 30,397 | 32,549 | 38,467 | 177,749 | 334,367 | 395,161 | 423,137 | 3,678,037 | 4,346,771 | 47,814,481 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -113 | -121 | -143 | -269 | -1,243 | -1,469 | -1,573 | -2,959 | -3,497 | -13,673 | -16,159 | -30,397 | -32,549 | -38,467 | -177,749 | -334,367 | -395,161 | -423,137 | -3,678,037 | -4,346,771 | -47,814,481 |
