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 48,053,095, 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 | 48,053,095 | |
| -1 | -48,053,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 48,053,095.
Example:
1 x 48,053,095 = 48,053,095
and
-1 x -48,053,095 = 48,053,095
Notice both answers equal 48,053,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 48,053,095 and divide it by 2:
48,053,095 ÷ 2 = 24,026,547.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,026,547.5 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 | 48,053,095 | |
| -1 | -48,053,095 |
Now, we try dividing 48,053,095 by 3:
48,053,095 ÷ 3 = 16,017,698.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,017,698.3333 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 | 48,053,095 | |
| -1 | -48,053,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
48,053,095 ÷ 4 = 12,013,273.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,013,273.75 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 | 48,053,095 | |
| -1 | 48,053,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 383 | 1,091 | 1,915 | 5,455 | 8,809 | 25,093 | 44,045 | 125,465 | 417,853 | 2,089,265 | 9,610,619 | 48,053,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -383 | -1,091 | -1,915 | -5,455 | -8,809 | -25,093 | -44,045 | -125,465 | -417,853 | -2,089,265 | -9,610,619 | -48,053,095 |
