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 43,350,331, 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 | 43,350,331 | |
| -1 | -43,350,331 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,350,331.
Example:
1 x 43,350,331 = 43,350,331
and
-1 x -43,350,331 = 43,350,331
Notice both answers equal 43,350,331
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,350,331 and divide it by 2:
43,350,331 ÷ 2 = 21,675,165.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,675,165.5 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 | 43,350,331 | |
| -1 | -43,350,331 |
Now, we try dividing 43,350,331 by 3:
43,350,331 ÷ 3 = 14,450,110.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,450,110.3333 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 | 43,350,331 | |
| -1 | -43,350,331 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,350,331 ÷ 4 = 10,837,582.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,837,582.75 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 | 43,350,331 | |
| -1 | 43,350,331 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 103 | 631 | 667 | 2,369 | 2,987 | 14,513 | 18,299 | 64,993 | 68,701 | 420,877 | 1,494,839 | 1,884,797 | 43,350,331 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -103 | -631 | -667 | -2,369 | -2,987 | -14,513 | -18,299 | -64,993 | -68,701 | -420,877 | -1,494,839 | -1,884,797 | -43,350,331 |
