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 43,014,461, 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 | 43,014,461 | |
| -1 | -43,014,461 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,014,461.
Example:
1 x 43,014,461 = 43,014,461
and
-1 x -43,014,461 = 43,014,461
Notice both answers equal 43,014,461
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,014,461 and divide it by 2:
43,014,461 ÷ 2 = 21,507,230.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,507,230.5 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 | 43,014,461 | |
| -1 | -43,014,461 |
Now, we try dividing 43,014,461 by 3:
43,014,461 ÷ 3 = 14,338,153.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,338,153.6667 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 | 43,014,461 | |
| -1 | -43,014,461 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,014,461 ÷ 4 = 10,753,615.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,753,615.25 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 | 43,014,461 | |
| -1 | 43,014,461 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 37 | 133 | 259 | 703 | 4,921 | 8,741 | 61,187 | 166,079 | 323,417 | 1,162,553 | 2,263,919 | 6,144,923 | 43,014,461 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -37 | -133 | -259 | -703 | -4,921 | -8,741 | -61,187 | -166,079 | -323,417 | -1,162,553 | -2,263,919 | -6,144,923 | -43,014,461 |
