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 43,512,685, 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 | 43,512,685 | |
| -1 | -43,512,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,512,685.
Example:
1 x 43,512,685 = 43,512,685
and
-1 x -43,512,685 = 43,512,685
Notice both answers equal 43,512,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,512,685 and divide it by 2:
43,512,685 ÷ 2 = 21,756,342.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,756,342.5 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 | 43,512,685 | |
| -1 | -43,512,685 |
Now, we try dividing 43,512,685 by 3:
43,512,685 ÷ 3 = 14,504,228.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,504,228.3333 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 | 43,512,685 | |
| -1 | -43,512,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,512,685 ÷ 4 = 10,878,171.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,878,171.25 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 | 43,512,685 | |
| -1 | 43,512,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 41 | 155 | 167 | 205 | 835 | 1,271 | 1,681 | 5,177 | 6,355 | 6,847 | 8,405 | 25,885 | 34,235 | 52,111 | 212,257 | 260,555 | 280,727 | 1,061,285 | 1,403,635 | 8,702,537 | 43,512,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -41 | -155 | -167 | -205 | -835 | -1,271 | -1,681 | -5,177 | -6,355 | -6,847 | -8,405 | -25,885 | -34,235 | -52,111 | -212,257 | -260,555 | -280,727 | -1,061,285 | -1,403,635 | -8,702,537 | -43,512,685 |
