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 43,300,345, 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 | 43,300,345 | |
| -1 | -43,300,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,300,345.
Example:
1 x 43,300,345 = 43,300,345
and
-1 x -43,300,345 = 43,300,345
Notice both answers equal 43,300,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,300,345 and divide it by 2:
43,300,345 ÷ 2 = 21,650,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,650,172.5 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 | 43,300,345 | |
| -1 | -43,300,345 |
Now, we try dividing 43,300,345 by 3:
43,300,345 ÷ 3 = 14,433,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,433,448.3333 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 | 43,300,345 | |
| -1 | -43,300,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,300,345 ÷ 4 = 10,825,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,825,086.25 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 | 43,300,345 | |
| -1 | 43,300,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 607 | 1,297 | 3,035 | 6,485 | 6,677 | 14,267 | 33,385 | 71,335 | 787,279 | 3,936,395 | 8,660,069 | 43,300,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -607 | -1,297 | -3,035 | -6,485 | -6,677 | -14,267 | -33,385 | -71,335 | -787,279 | -3,936,395 | -8,660,069 | -43,300,345 |
