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 66,470,045, 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 | 66,470,045 | |
| -1 | -66,470,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 66,470,045.
Example:
1 x 66,470,045 = 66,470,045
and
-1 x -66,470,045 = 66,470,045
Notice both answers equal 66,470,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 66,470,045 and divide it by 2:
66,470,045 ÷ 2 = 33,235,022.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 33,235,022.5 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 | 66,470,045 | |
| -1 | -66,470,045 |
Now, we try dividing 66,470,045 by 3:
66,470,045 ÷ 3 = 22,156,681.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 22,156,681.6667 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 | 66,470,045 | |
| -1 | -66,470,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
66,470,045 ÷ 4 = 16,617,511.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,617,511.25 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 | 66,470,045 | |
| -1 | 66,470,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 43 | 155 | 215 | 1,333 | 6,665 | 9,973 | 49,865 | 309,163 | 428,839 | 1,545,815 | 2,144,195 | 13,294,009 | 66,470,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -43 | -155 | -215 | -1,333 | -6,665 | -9,973 | -49,865 | -309,163 | -428,839 | -1,545,815 | -2,144,195 | -13,294,009 | -66,470,045 |
