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 43,554,203, 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 | 43,554,203 | |
| -1 | -43,554,203 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,554,203.
Example:
1 x 43,554,203 = 43,554,203
and
-1 x -43,554,203 = 43,554,203
Notice both answers equal 43,554,203
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,554,203 and divide it by 2:
43,554,203 ÷ 2 = 21,777,101.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,777,101.5 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 | 43,554,203 | |
| -1 | -43,554,203 |
Now, we try dividing 43,554,203 by 3:
43,554,203 ÷ 3 = 14,518,067.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,518,067.6667 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 | 43,554,203 | |
| -1 | -43,554,203 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,554,203 ÷ 4 = 10,888,550.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,888,550.75 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 | 43,554,203 | |
| -1 | 43,554,203 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 77 | 161 | 253 | 1,771 | 24,593 | 172,151 | 270,523 | 565,639 | 1,893,661 | 3,959,473 | 6,222,029 | 43,554,203 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -77 | -161 | -253 | -1,771 | -24,593 | -172,151 | -270,523 | -565,639 | -1,893,661 | -3,959,473 | -6,222,029 | -43,554,203 |
