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 43,014,499, 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 | 43,014,499 | |
| -1 | -43,014,499 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,014,499.
Example:
1 x 43,014,499 = 43,014,499
and
-1 x -43,014,499 = 43,014,499
Notice both answers equal 43,014,499
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,014,499 and divide it by 2:
43,014,499 ÷ 2 = 21,507,249.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,507,249.5 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 | 43,014,499 | |
| -1 | -43,014,499 |
Now, we try dividing 43,014,499 by 3:
43,014,499 ÷ 3 = 14,338,166.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,338,166.3333 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 | 43,014,499 | |
| -1 | -43,014,499 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,014,499 ÷ 4 = 10,753,624.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,753,624.75 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 | 43,014,499 | |
| -1 | 43,014,499 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 209 | 277 | 743 | 3,047 | 5,263 | 8,173 | 14,117 | 57,893 | 155,287 | 205,811 | 2,263,921 | 3,910,409 | 43,014,499 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -209 | -277 | -743 | -3,047 | -5,263 | -8,173 | -14,117 | -57,893 | -155,287 | -205,811 | -2,263,921 | -3,910,409 | -43,014,499 |
