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 43,678,055, 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 | 43,678,055 | |
| -1 | -43,678,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,678,055.
Example:
1 x 43,678,055 = 43,678,055
and
-1 x -43,678,055 = 43,678,055
Notice both answers equal 43,678,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,678,055 and divide it by 2:
43,678,055 ÷ 2 = 21,839,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,839,027.5 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 | 43,678,055 | |
| -1 | -43,678,055 |
Now, we try dividing 43,678,055 by 3:
43,678,055 ÷ 3 = 14,559,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,559,351.6667 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 | 43,678,055 | |
| -1 | -43,678,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,678,055 ÷ 4 = 10,919,513.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,919,513.75 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 | 43,678,055 | |
| -1 | 43,678,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 211 | 1,055 | 2,179 | 4,009 | 10,895 | 20,045 | 41,401 | 207,005 | 459,769 | 2,298,845 | 8,735,611 | 43,678,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -211 | -1,055 | -2,179 | -4,009 | -10,895 | -20,045 | -41,401 | -207,005 | -459,769 | -2,298,845 | -8,735,611 | -43,678,055 |
