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 43,450,495, 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 | 43,450,495 | |
| -1 | -43,450,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,450,495.
Example:
1 x 43,450,495 = 43,450,495
and
-1 x -43,450,495 = 43,450,495
Notice both answers equal 43,450,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,450,495 and divide it by 2:
43,450,495 ÷ 2 = 21,725,247.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,725,247.5 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 | 43,450,495 | |
| -1 | -43,450,495 |
Now, we try dividing 43,450,495 by 3:
43,450,495 ÷ 3 = 14,483,498.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,483,498.3333 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 | 43,450,495 | |
| -1 | -43,450,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,450,495 ÷ 4 = 10,862,623.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,862,623.75 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 | 43,450,495 | |
| -1 | 43,450,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 121 | 605 | 1,331 | 6,529 | 6,655 | 32,645 | 71,819 | 359,095 | 790,009 | 3,950,045 | 8,690,099 | 43,450,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -121 | -605 | -1,331 | -6,529 | -6,655 | -32,645 | -71,819 | -359,095 | -790,009 | -3,950,045 | -8,690,099 | -43,450,495 |
