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 43,343,135, 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 | 43,343,135 | |
| -1 | -43,343,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,343,135.
Example:
1 x 43,343,135 = 43,343,135
and
-1 x -43,343,135 = 43,343,135
Notice both answers equal 43,343,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,343,135 and divide it by 2:
43,343,135 ÷ 2 = 21,671,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,671,567.5 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 | 43,343,135 | |
| -1 | -43,343,135 |
Now, we try dividing 43,343,135 by 3:
43,343,135 ÷ 3 = 14,447,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,447,711.6667 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 | 43,343,135 | |
| -1 | -43,343,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,343,135 ÷ 4 = 10,835,783.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,835,783.75 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 | 43,343,135 | |
| -1 | 43,343,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 2,915 | 14,869 | 74,345 | 163,559 | 788,057 | 817,795 | 3,940,285 | 8,668,627 | 43,343,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -2,915 | -14,869 | -74,345 | -163,559 | -788,057 | -817,795 | -3,940,285 | -8,668,627 | -43,343,135 |
