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 43,012,333, 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 | 43,012,333 | |
| -1 | -43,012,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,012,333.
Example:
1 x 43,012,333 = 43,012,333
and
-1 x -43,012,333 = 43,012,333
Notice both answers equal 43,012,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,012,333 and divide it by 2:
43,012,333 ÷ 2 = 21,506,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,506,166.5 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 | 43,012,333 | |
| -1 | -43,012,333 |
Now, we try dividing 43,012,333 by 3:
43,012,333 ÷ 3 = 14,337,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,337,444.3333 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 | 43,012,333 | |
| -1 | -43,012,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,012,333 ÷ 4 = 10,753,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,753,083.25 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 | 43,012,333 | |
| -1 | 43,012,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 91 | 133 | 247 | 1,729 | 24,877 | 174,139 | 323,401 | 472,663 | 2,263,807 | 3,308,641 | 6,144,619 | 43,012,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -91 | -133 | -247 | -1,729 | -24,877 | -174,139 | -323,401 | -472,663 | -2,263,807 | -3,308,641 | -6,144,619 | -43,012,333 |
