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 48,466,633, 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 | 48,466,633 | |
| -1 | -48,466,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 48,466,633.
Example:
1 x 48,466,633 = 48,466,633
and
-1 x -48,466,633 = 48,466,633
Notice both answers equal 48,466,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 48,466,633 and divide it by 2:
48,466,633 ÷ 2 = 24,233,316.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,233,316.5 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 | 48,466,633 | |
| -1 | -48,466,633 |
Now, we try dividing 48,466,633 by 3:
48,466,633 ÷ 3 = 16,155,544.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,155,544.3333 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 | 48,466,633 | |
| -1 | -48,466,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
48,466,633 ÷ 4 = 12,116,658.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,116,658.25 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 | 48,466,633 | |
| -1 | 48,466,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 41 | 43 | 743 | 1,517 | 1,591 | 1,763 | 27,491 | 30,463 | 31,949 | 65,231 | 1,127,131 | 1,182,113 | 1,309,909 | 48,466,633 |
| -1 | -37 | -41 | -43 | -743 | -1,517 | -1,591 | -1,763 | -27,491 | -30,463 | -31,949 | -65,231 | -1,127,131 | -1,182,113 | -1,309,909 | -48,466,633 |
