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 42,360,043, 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 | 42,360,043 | |
| -1 | -42,360,043 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 42,360,043.
Example:
1 x 42,360,043 = 42,360,043
and
-1 x -42,360,043 = 42,360,043
Notice both answers equal 42,360,043
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 42,360,043 and divide it by 2:
42,360,043 ÷ 2 = 21,180,021.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,180,021.5 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 | 42,360,043 | |
| -1 | -42,360,043 |
Now, we try dividing 42,360,043 by 3:
42,360,043 ÷ 3 = 14,120,014.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,120,014.3333 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 | 42,360,043 | |
| -1 | -42,360,043 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
42,360,043 ÷ 4 = 10,590,010.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,590,010.75 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 | 42,360,043 | |
| -1 | 42,360,043 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 31 | 121 | 253 | 341 | 491 | 713 | 2,783 | 3,751 | 5,401 | 7,843 | 11,293 | 15,221 | 59,411 | 86,273 | 124,223 | 167,431 | 350,083 | 1,366,453 | 1,841,741 | 3,850,913 | 42,360,043 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -31 | -121 | -253 | -341 | -491 | -713 | -2,783 | -3,751 | -5,401 | -7,843 | -11,293 | -15,221 | -59,411 | -86,273 | -124,223 | -167,431 | -350,083 | -1,366,453 | -1,841,741 | -3,850,913 | -42,360,043 |
