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 43,824,017, 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 | 43,824,017 | |
| -1 | -43,824,017 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,824,017.
Example:
1 x 43,824,017 = 43,824,017
and
-1 x -43,824,017 = 43,824,017
Notice both answers equal 43,824,017
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,824,017 and divide it by 2:
43,824,017 ÷ 2 = 21,912,008.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,912,008.5 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 | 43,824,017 | |
| -1 | -43,824,017 |
Now, we try dividing 43,824,017 by 3:
43,824,017 ÷ 3 = 14,608,005.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,608,005.6667 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 | 43,824,017 | |
| -1 | -43,824,017 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,824,017 ÷ 4 = 10,956,004.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,956,004.25 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 | 43,824,017 | |
| -1 | 43,824,017 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 73 | 127 | 163 | 2,117 | 3,683 | 4,727 | 9,271 | 11,899 | 20,701 | 268,859 | 345,071 | 600,329 | 1,511,173 | 43,824,017 |
| -1 | -29 | -73 | -127 | -163 | -2,117 | -3,683 | -4,727 | -9,271 | -11,899 | -20,701 | -268,859 | -345,071 | -600,329 | -1,511,173 | -43,824,017 |
