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 43,422,301, 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 | 43,422,301 | |
| -1 | -43,422,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,422,301.
Example:
1 x 43,422,301 = 43,422,301
and
-1 x -43,422,301 = 43,422,301
Notice both answers equal 43,422,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,422,301 and divide it by 2:
43,422,301 ÷ 2 = 21,711,150.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,711,150.5 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 | 43,422,301 | |
| -1 | -43,422,301 |
Now, we try dividing 43,422,301 by 3:
43,422,301 ÷ 3 = 14,474,100.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,474,100.3333 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 | 43,422,301 | |
| -1 | -43,422,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,422,301 ÷ 4 = 10,855,575.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,855,575.25 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 | 43,422,301 | |
| -1 | 43,422,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 61 | 221 | 793 | 1,037 | 3,221 | 13,481 | 41,873 | 54,757 | 196,481 | 711,841 | 2,554,253 | 3,340,177 | 43,422,301 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -61 | -221 | -793 | -1,037 | -3,221 | -13,481 | -41,873 | -54,757 | -196,481 | -711,841 | -2,554,253 | -3,340,177 | -43,422,301 |
