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 43,525,445, 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 | 43,525,445 | |
| -1 | -43,525,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,525,445.
Example:
1 x 43,525,445 = 43,525,445
and
-1 x -43,525,445 = 43,525,445
Notice both answers equal 43,525,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,525,445 and divide it by 2:
43,525,445 ÷ 2 = 21,762,722.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,762,722.5 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 | 43,525,445 | |
| -1 | -43,525,445 |
Now, we try dividing 43,525,445 by 3:
43,525,445 ÷ 3 = 14,508,481.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,508,481.6667 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 | 43,525,445 | |
| -1 | -43,525,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,525,445 ÷ 4 = 10,881,361.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,881,361.25 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 | 43,525,445 | |
| -1 | 43,525,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 101 | 395 | 505 | 1,091 | 5,455 | 7,979 | 39,895 | 86,189 | 110,191 | 430,945 | 550,955 | 8,705,089 | 43,525,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -101 | -395 | -505 | -1,091 | -5,455 | -7,979 | -39,895 | -86,189 | -110,191 | -430,945 | -550,955 | -8,705,089 | -43,525,445 |
