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 48,065,443, 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 | 48,065,443 | |
| -1 | -48,065,443 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 48,065,443.
Example:
1 x 48,065,443 = 48,065,443
and
-1 x -48,065,443 = 48,065,443
Notice both answers equal 48,065,443
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 48,065,443 and divide it by 2:
48,065,443 ÷ 2 = 24,032,721.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,032,721.5 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 | 48,065,443 | |
| -1 | -48,065,443 |
Now, we try dividing 48,065,443 by 3:
48,065,443 ÷ 3 = 16,021,814.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,021,814.3333 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 | 48,065,443 | |
| -1 | -48,065,443 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
48,065,443 ÷ 4 = 12,016,360.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,016,360.75 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 | 48,065,443 | |
| -1 | 48,065,443 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 43 | 47 | 731 | 799 | 1,399 | 2,021 | 23,783 | 34,357 | 60,157 | 65,753 | 1,022,669 | 1,117,801 | 2,827,379 | 48,065,443 |
| -1 | -17 | -43 | -47 | -731 | -799 | -1,399 | -2,021 | -23,783 | -34,357 | -60,157 | -65,753 | -1,022,669 | -1,117,801 | -2,827,379 | -48,065,443 |
