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 43,476,713, 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 | 43,476,713 | |
| -1 | -43,476,713 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,476,713.
Example:
1 x 43,476,713 = 43,476,713
and
-1 x -43,476,713 = 43,476,713
Notice both answers equal 43,476,713
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,476,713 and divide it by 2:
43,476,713 ÷ 2 = 21,738,356.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,738,356.5 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 | 43,476,713 | |
| -1 | -43,476,713 |
Now, we try dividing 43,476,713 by 3:
43,476,713 ÷ 3 = 14,492,237.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,492,237.6667 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 | 43,476,713 | |
| -1 | -43,476,713 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,476,713 ÷ 4 = 10,869,178.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,869,178.25 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 | 43,476,713 | |
| -1 | 43,476,713 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 61 | 203 | 427 | 1,769 | 3,511 | 12,383 | 24,577 | 101,819 | 214,171 | 712,733 | 1,499,197 | 6,210,959 | 43,476,713 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -61 | -203 | -427 | -1,769 | -3,511 | -12,383 | -24,577 | -101,819 | -214,171 | -712,733 | -1,499,197 | -6,210,959 | -43,476,713 |
