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 48,924,629, 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 | 48,924,629 | |
| -1 | -48,924,629 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 48,924,629.
Example:
1 x 48,924,629 = 48,924,629
and
-1 x -48,924,629 = 48,924,629
Notice both answers equal 48,924,629
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 48,924,629 and divide it by 2:
48,924,629 ÷ 2 = 24,462,314.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,462,314.5 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 | 48,924,629 | |
| -1 | -48,924,629 |
Now, we try dividing 48,924,629 by 3:
48,924,629 ÷ 3 = 16,308,209.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,308,209.6667 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 | 48,924,629 | |
| -1 | -48,924,629 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
48,924,629 ÷ 4 = 12,231,157.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,231,157.25 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 | 48,924,629 | |
| -1 | 48,924,629 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 227 | 281 | 767 | 2,951 | 3,653 | 13,393 | 16,579 | 63,787 | 174,109 | 215,527 | 829,231 | 3,763,433 | 48,924,629 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -227 | -281 | -767 | -2,951 | -3,653 | -13,393 | -16,579 | -63,787 | -174,109 | -215,527 | -829,231 | -3,763,433 | -48,924,629 |
