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 43,341,551, 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 | 43,341,551 | |
| -1 | -43,341,551 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,341,551.
Example:
1 x 43,341,551 = 43,341,551
and
-1 x -43,341,551 = 43,341,551
Notice both answers equal 43,341,551
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,341,551 and divide it by 2:
43,341,551 ÷ 2 = 21,670,775.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,670,775.5 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 | 43,341,551 | |
| -1 | -43,341,551 |
Now, we try dividing 43,341,551 by 3:
43,341,551 ÷ 3 = 14,447,183.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,447,183.6667 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 | 43,341,551 | |
| -1 | -43,341,551 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,341,551 ÷ 4 = 10,835,387.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,835,387.75 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 | 43,341,551 | |
| -1 | 43,341,551 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 41 | 187 | 451 | 697 | 5,653 | 7,667 | 62,183 | 96,101 | 231,773 | 1,057,111 | 2,549,503 | 3,940,141 | 43,341,551 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -41 | -187 | -451 | -697 | -5,653 | -7,667 | -62,183 | -96,101 | -231,773 | -1,057,111 | -2,549,503 | -3,940,141 | -43,341,551 |
