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 43,635,263, 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 | 43,635,263 | |
| -1 | -43,635,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,635,263.
Example:
1 x 43,635,263 = 43,635,263
and
-1 x -43,635,263 = 43,635,263
Notice both answers equal 43,635,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,635,263 and divide it by 2:
43,635,263 ÷ 2 = 21,817,631.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,817,631.5 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 | 43,635,263 | |
| -1 | -43,635,263 |
Now, we try dividing 43,635,263 by 3:
43,635,263 ÷ 3 = 14,545,087.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,545,087.6667 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 | 43,635,263 | |
| -1 | -43,635,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,635,263 ÷ 4 = 10,908,815.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,908,815.75 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 | 43,635,263 | |
| -1 | 43,635,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 163 | 167 | 229 | 1,141 | 1,169 | 1,603 | 27,221 | 37,327 | 38,243 | 190,547 | 261,289 | 267,701 | 6,233,609 | 43,635,263 |
| -1 | -7 | -163 | -167 | -229 | -1,141 | -1,169 | -1,603 | -27,221 | -37,327 | -38,243 | -190,547 | -261,289 | -267,701 | -6,233,609 | -43,635,263 |
