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 43,553,041, 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 | 43,553,041 | |
| -1 | -43,553,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,553,041.
Example:
1 x 43,553,041 = 43,553,041
and
-1 x -43,553,041 = 43,553,041
Notice both answers equal 43,553,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,553,041 and divide it by 2:
43,553,041 ÷ 2 = 21,776,520.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,776,520.5 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 | 43,553,041 | |
| -1 | -43,553,041 |
Now, we try dividing 43,553,041 by 3:
43,553,041 ÷ 3 = 14,517,680.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,517,680.3333 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 | 43,553,041 | |
| -1 | -43,553,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,553,041 ÷ 4 = 10,888,260.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,888,260.25 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 | 43,553,041 | |
| -1 | 43,553,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 73 | 203 | 511 | 2,117 | 2,939 | 14,819 | 20,573 | 85,231 | 214,547 | 596,617 | 1,501,829 | 6,221,863 | 43,553,041 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -73 | -203 | -511 | -2,117 | -2,939 | -14,819 | -20,573 | -85,231 | -214,547 | -596,617 | -1,501,829 | -6,221,863 | -43,553,041 |
