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 43,705,453, 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 | 43,705,453 | |
| -1 | -43,705,453 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,705,453.
Example:
1 x 43,705,453 = 43,705,453
and
-1 x -43,705,453 = 43,705,453
Notice both answers equal 43,705,453
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,705,453 and divide it by 2:
43,705,453 ÷ 2 = 21,852,726.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,852,726.5 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 | 43,705,453 | |
| -1 | -43,705,453 |
Now, we try dividing 43,705,453 by 3:
43,705,453 ÷ 3 = 14,568,484.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,568,484.3333 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 | 43,705,453 | |
| -1 | -43,705,453 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,705,453 ÷ 4 = 10,926,363.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,926,363.25 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 | 43,705,453 | |
| -1 | 43,705,453 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 19 | 187 | 209 | 323 | 3,553 | 12,301 | 135,311 | 209,117 | 233,719 | 2,300,287 | 2,570,909 | 3,973,223 | 43,705,453 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -19 | -187 | -209 | -323 | -3,553 | -12,301 | -135,311 | -209,117 | -233,719 | -2,300,287 | -2,570,909 | -3,973,223 | -43,705,453 |
