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 43,443,323, 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 | 43,443,323 | |
| -1 | -43,443,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,443,323.
Example:
1 x 43,443,323 = 43,443,323
and
-1 x -43,443,323 = 43,443,323
Notice both answers equal 43,443,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,443,323 and divide it by 2:
43,443,323 ÷ 2 = 21,721,661.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,721,661.5 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 | 43,443,323 | |
| -1 | -43,443,323 |
Now, we try dividing 43,443,323 by 3:
43,443,323 ÷ 3 = 14,481,107.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,481,107.6667 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 | 43,443,323 | |
| -1 | -43,443,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,443,323 ÷ 4 = 10,860,830.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,860,830.75 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 | 43,443,323 | |
| -1 | 43,443,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 433 | 1,303 | 3,031 | 4,763 | 9,121 | 14,333 | 33,341 | 100,331 | 564,199 | 3,949,393 | 6,206,189 | 43,443,323 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -433 | -1,303 | -3,031 | -4,763 | -9,121 | -14,333 | -33,341 | -100,331 | -564,199 | -3,949,393 | -6,206,189 | -43,443,323 |
