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 43,344,553, 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 | 43,344,553 | |
| -1 | -43,344,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,344,553.
Example:
1 x 43,344,553 = 43,344,553
and
-1 x -43,344,553 = 43,344,553
Notice both answers equal 43,344,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,344,553 and divide it by 2:
43,344,553 ÷ 2 = 21,672,276.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,672,276.5 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 | 43,344,553 | |
| -1 | -43,344,553 |
Now, we try dividing 43,344,553 by 3:
43,344,553 ÷ 3 = 14,448,184.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,448,184.3333 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 | 43,344,553 | |
| -1 | -43,344,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,344,553 ÷ 4 = 10,836,138.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,836,138.25 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 | 43,344,553 | |
| -1 | 43,344,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 271 | 313 | 511 | 1,897 | 2,191 | 19,783 | 22,849 | 84,823 | 138,481 | 159,943 | 593,761 | 6,192,079 | 43,344,553 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -271 | -313 | -511 | -1,897 | -2,191 | -19,783 | -22,849 | -84,823 | -138,481 | -159,943 | -593,761 | -6,192,079 | -43,344,553 |
