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 43,707,565, 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 | 43,707,565 | |
| -1 | -43,707,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,707,565.
Example:
1 x 43,707,565 = 43,707,565
and
-1 x -43,707,565 = 43,707,565
Notice both answers equal 43,707,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,707,565 and divide it by 2:
43,707,565 ÷ 2 = 21,853,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,853,782.5 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 | 43,707,565 | |
| -1 | -43,707,565 |
Now, we try dividing 43,707,565 by 3:
43,707,565 ÷ 3 = 14,569,188.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,569,188.3333 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 | 43,707,565 | |
| -1 | -43,707,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,707,565 ÷ 4 = 10,926,891.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,926,891.25 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 | 43,707,565 | |
| -1 | 43,707,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 43 | 55 | 215 | 473 | 2,365 | 18,481 | 92,405 | 203,291 | 794,683 | 1,016,455 | 3,973,415 | 8,741,513 | 43,707,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -43 | -55 | -215 | -473 | -2,365 | -18,481 | -92,405 | -203,291 | -794,683 | -1,016,455 | -3,973,415 | -8,741,513 | -43,707,565 |
