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 48,047,375, 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 | 48,047,375 | |
| -1 | -48,047,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 48,047,375.
Example:
1 x 48,047,375 = 48,047,375
and
-1 x -48,047,375 = 48,047,375
Notice both answers equal 48,047,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 48,047,375 and divide it by 2:
48,047,375 ÷ 2 = 24,023,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,023,687.5 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 | 48,047,375 | |
| -1 | -48,047,375 |
Now, we try dividing 48,047,375 by 3:
48,047,375 ÷ 3 = 16,015,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,015,791.6667 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 | 48,047,375 | |
| -1 | -48,047,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
48,047,375 ÷ 4 = 12,011,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,011,843.75 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 | 48,047,375 | |
| -1 | 48,047,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 67 | 125 | 335 | 1,675 | 5,737 | 8,375 | 28,685 | 143,425 | 384,379 | 717,125 | 1,921,895 | 9,609,475 | 48,047,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -67 | -125 | -335 | -1,675 | -5,737 | -8,375 | -28,685 | -143,425 | -384,379 | -717,125 | -1,921,895 | -9,609,475 | -48,047,375 |
