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 43,544,545, 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 | 43,544,545 | |
| -1 | -43,544,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,544,545.
Example:
1 x 43,544,545 = 43,544,545
and
-1 x -43,544,545 = 43,544,545
Notice both answers equal 43,544,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,544,545 and divide it by 2:
43,544,545 ÷ 2 = 21,772,272.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,772,272.5 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 | 43,544,545 | |
| -1 | -43,544,545 |
Now, we try dividing 43,544,545 by 3:
43,544,545 ÷ 3 = 14,514,848.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,514,848.3333 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 | 43,544,545 | |
| -1 | -43,544,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,544,545 ÷ 4 = 10,886,136.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,886,136.25 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 | 43,544,545 | |
| -1 | 43,544,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 61 | 305 | 671 | 3,355 | 12,979 | 64,895 | 142,769 | 713,845 | 791,719 | 3,958,595 | 8,708,909 | 43,544,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -61 | -305 | -671 | -3,355 | -12,979 | -64,895 | -142,769 | -713,845 | -791,719 | -3,958,595 | -8,708,909 | -43,544,545 |
