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 43,660,309, 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 | 43,660,309 | |
| -1 | -43,660,309 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,660,309.
Example:
1 x 43,660,309 = 43,660,309
and
-1 x -43,660,309 = 43,660,309
Notice both answers equal 43,660,309
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,660,309 and divide it by 2:
43,660,309 ÷ 2 = 21,830,154.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,830,154.5 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 | 43,660,309 | |
| -1 | -43,660,309 |
Now, we try dividing 43,660,309 by 3:
43,660,309 ÷ 3 = 14,553,436.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,553,436.3333 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 | 43,660,309 | |
| -1 | -43,660,309 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,660,309 ÷ 4 = 10,915,077.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,915,077.25 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 | 43,660,309 | |
| -1 | 43,660,309 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 19 | 77 | 121 | 133 | 209 | 847 | 1,463 | 2,299 | 2,713 | 16,093 | 18,991 | 29,843 | 51,547 | 208,901 | 328,273 | 360,829 | 567,017 | 2,297,911 | 3,969,119 | 6,237,187 | 43,660,309 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -19 | -77 | -121 | -133 | -209 | -847 | -1,463 | -2,299 | -2,713 | -16,093 | -18,991 | -29,843 | -51,547 | -208,901 | -328,273 | -360,829 | -567,017 | -2,297,911 | -3,969,119 | -6,237,187 | -43,660,309 |
