How do I find the factor combinations of the number 43,012,668?

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 43,012,668, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 43,012,668
-1 -43,012,668

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,012,668.

Example:
1 x 43,012,668 = 43,012,668
and
-1 x -43,012,668 = 43,012,668
Notice both answers equal 43,012,668

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,012,668 and divide it by 2:

43,012,668 ÷ 2 = 21,506,334

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,506,334 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 21,506,334 43,012,668
-1 -2 -21,506,334 -43,012,668

Now, we try dividing 43,012,668 by 3:

43,012,668 ÷ 3 = 14,337,556

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,337,556 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 14,337,556 21,506,334 43,012,668
-1 -2 -3 -14,337,556 -21,506,334 -43,012,668

Let's try dividing by 4:

43,012,668 ÷ 4 = 10,753,167

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,753,167 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 10,753,167 14,337,556 21,506,334 43,012,668
-1 -2 -3 -4 -10,753,167 -14,337,556 -21,506,334 43,012,668
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
