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 43,388,695, 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 | 43,388,695 | |
| -1 | -43,388,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,388,695.
Example:
1 x 43,388,695 = 43,388,695
and
-1 x -43,388,695 = 43,388,695
Notice both answers equal 43,388,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,388,695 and divide it by 2:
43,388,695 ÷ 2 = 21,694,347.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,694,347.5 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 | 43,388,695 | |
| -1 | -43,388,695 |
Now, we try dividing 43,388,695 by 3:
43,388,695 ÷ 3 = 14,462,898.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,462,898.3333 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 | 43,388,695 | |
| -1 | -43,388,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,388,695 ÷ 4 = 10,847,173.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,847,173.75 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 | 43,388,695 | |
| -1 | 43,388,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 53,899 | 269,495 | 377,293 | 1,239,677 | 1,886,465 | 6,198,385 | 8,677,739 | 43,388,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -53,899 | -269,495 | -377,293 | -1,239,677 | -1,886,465 | -6,198,385 | -8,677,739 | -43,388,695 |
