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 43,543,709, 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 | 43,543,709 | |
| -1 | -43,543,709 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,543,709.
Example:
1 x 43,543,709 = 43,543,709
and
-1 x -43,543,709 = 43,543,709
Notice both answers equal 43,543,709
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,543,709 and divide it by 2:
43,543,709 ÷ 2 = 21,771,854.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,771,854.5 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 | 43,543,709 | |
| -1 | -43,543,709 |
Now, we try dividing 43,543,709 by 3:
43,543,709 ÷ 3 = 14,514,569.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,514,569.6667 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 | 43,543,709 | |
| -1 | -43,543,709 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,543,709 ÷ 4 = 10,885,927.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,885,927.25 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 | 43,543,709 | |
| -1 | 43,543,709 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 37 | 83 | 407 | 913 | 1,289 | 3,071 | 14,179 | 33,781 | 47,693 | 106,987 | 524,623 | 1,176,857 | 3,958,519 | 43,543,709 |
| -1 | -11 | -37 | -83 | -407 | -913 | -1,289 | -3,071 | -14,179 | -33,781 | -47,693 | -106,987 | -524,623 | -1,176,857 | -3,958,519 | -43,543,709 |
