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 43,213,495, 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 | 43,213,495 | |
| -1 | -43,213,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,213,495.
Example:
1 x 43,213,495 = 43,213,495
and
-1 x -43,213,495 = 43,213,495
Notice both answers equal 43,213,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,213,495 and divide it by 2:
43,213,495 ÷ 2 = 21,606,747.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,606,747.5 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 | 43,213,495 | |
| -1 | -43,213,495 |
Now, we try dividing 43,213,495 by 3:
43,213,495 ÷ 3 = 14,404,498.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,404,498.3333 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 | 43,213,495 | |
| -1 | -43,213,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,213,495 ÷ 4 = 10,803,373.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,803,373.75 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 | 43,213,495 | |
| -1 | 43,213,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 2,795 | 15,461 | 77,305 | 200,993 | 664,823 | 1,004,965 | 3,324,115 | 8,642,699 | 43,213,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -2,795 | -15,461 | -77,305 | -200,993 | -664,823 | -1,004,965 | -3,324,115 | -8,642,699 | -43,213,495 |
