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 43,752,875, 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 | 43,752,875 | |
| -1 | -43,752,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,752,875.
Example:
1 x 43,752,875 = 43,752,875
and
-1 x -43,752,875 = 43,752,875
Notice both answers equal 43,752,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,752,875 and divide it by 2:
43,752,875 ÷ 2 = 21,876,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,876,437.5 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 | 43,752,875 | |
| -1 | -43,752,875 |
Now, we try dividing 43,752,875 by 3:
43,752,875 ÷ 3 = 14,584,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,584,291.6667 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 | 43,752,875 | |
| -1 | -43,752,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,752,875 ÷ 4 = 10,938,218.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,938,218.75 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 | 43,752,875 | |
| -1 | 43,752,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 571 | 613 | 2,855 | 3,065 | 14,275 | 15,325 | 71,375 | 76,625 | 350,023 | 1,750,115 | 8,750,575 | 43,752,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -571 | -613 | -2,855 | -3,065 | -14,275 | -15,325 | -71,375 | -76,625 | -350,023 | -1,750,115 | -8,750,575 | -43,752,875 |
