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 43,769,255, 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 | 43,769,255 | |
| -1 | -43,769,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,769,255.
Example:
1 x 43,769,255 = 43,769,255
and
-1 x -43,769,255 = 43,769,255
Notice both answers equal 43,769,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,769,255 and divide it by 2:
43,769,255 ÷ 2 = 21,884,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,884,627.5 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 | 43,769,255 | |
| -1 | -43,769,255 |
Now, we try dividing 43,769,255 by 3:
43,769,255 ÷ 3 = 14,589,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,589,751.6667 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 | 43,769,255 | |
| -1 | -43,769,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,769,255 ÷ 4 = 10,942,313.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,942,313.75 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 | 43,769,255 | |
| -1 | 43,769,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 53 | 95 | 265 | 1,007 | 5,035 | 8,693 | 43,465 | 165,167 | 460,729 | 825,835 | 2,303,645 | 8,753,851 | 43,769,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -53 | -95 | -265 | -1,007 | -5,035 | -8,693 | -43,465 | -165,167 | -460,729 | -825,835 | -2,303,645 | -8,753,851 | -43,769,255 |
