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 48,673,075, 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 | 48,673,075 | |
| -1 | -48,673,075 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 48,673,075.
Example:
1 x 48,673,075 = 48,673,075
and
-1 x -48,673,075 = 48,673,075
Notice both answers equal 48,673,075
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 48,673,075 and divide it by 2:
48,673,075 ÷ 2 = 24,336,537.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,336,537.5 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 | 48,673,075 | |
| -1 | -48,673,075 |
Now, we try dividing 48,673,075 by 3:
48,673,075 ÷ 3 = 16,224,358.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,224,358.3333 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 | 48,673,075 | |
| -1 | -48,673,075 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
48,673,075 ÷ 4 = 12,168,268.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,168,268.75 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 | 48,673,075 | |
| -1 | 48,673,075 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 275 | 379 | 467 | 1,895 | 2,335 | 4,169 | 5,137 | 9,475 | 11,675 | 20,845 | 25,685 | 104,225 | 128,425 | 176,993 | 884,965 | 1,946,923 | 4,424,825 | 9,734,615 | 48,673,075 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -275 | -379 | -467 | -1,895 | -2,335 | -4,169 | -5,137 | -9,475 | -11,675 | -20,845 | -25,685 | -104,225 | -128,425 | -176,993 | -884,965 | -1,946,923 | -4,424,825 | -9,734,615 | -48,673,075 |
