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 43,026,655, 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 | 43,026,655 | |
| -1 | -43,026,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,026,655.
Example:
1 x 43,026,655 = 43,026,655
and
-1 x -43,026,655 = 43,026,655
Notice both answers equal 43,026,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,026,655 and divide it by 2:
43,026,655 ÷ 2 = 21,513,327.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,513,327.5 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 | 43,026,655 | |
| -1 | -43,026,655 |
Now, we try dividing 43,026,655 by 3:
43,026,655 ÷ 3 = 14,342,218.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,342,218.3333 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 | 43,026,655 | |
| -1 | -43,026,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,026,655 ÷ 4 = 10,756,663.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,756,663.75 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 | 43,026,655 | |
| -1 | 43,026,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 61 | 245 | 305 | 427 | 2,135 | 2,879 | 2,989 | 14,395 | 14,945 | 20,153 | 100,765 | 141,071 | 175,619 | 705,355 | 878,095 | 1,229,333 | 6,146,665 | 8,605,331 | 43,026,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -61 | -245 | -305 | -427 | -2,135 | -2,879 | -2,989 | -14,395 | -14,945 | -20,153 | -100,765 | -141,071 | -175,619 | -705,355 | -878,095 | -1,229,333 | -6,146,665 | -8,605,331 | -43,026,655 |
