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 43,204,343, 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 | 43,204,343 | |
| -1 | -43,204,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,204,343.
Example:
1 x 43,204,343 = 43,204,343
and
-1 x -43,204,343 = 43,204,343
Notice both answers equal 43,204,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,204,343 and divide it by 2:
43,204,343 ÷ 2 = 21,602,171.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,602,171.5 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 | 43,204,343 | |
| -1 | -43,204,343 |
Now, we try dividing 43,204,343 by 3:
43,204,343 ÷ 3 = 14,401,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,401,447.6667 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 | 43,204,343 | |
| -1 | -43,204,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,204,343 ÷ 4 = 10,801,085.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,801,085.75 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 | 43,204,343 | |
| -1 | 43,204,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 59 | 91 | 169 | 413 | 619 | 767 | 1,183 | 4,333 | 5,369 | 8,047 | 9,971 | 36,521 | 56,329 | 69,797 | 104,611 | 255,647 | 474,773 | 732,277 | 3,323,411 | 6,172,049 | 43,204,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -59 | -91 | -169 | -413 | -619 | -767 | -1,183 | -4,333 | -5,369 | -8,047 | -9,971 | -36,521 | -56,329 | -69,797 | -104,611 | -255,647 | -474,773 | -732,277 | -3,323,411 | -6,172,049 | -43,204,343 |
