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 43,832,375, 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 | 43,832,375 | |
| -1 | -43,832,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,832,375.
Example:
1 x 43,832,375 = 43,832,375
and
-1 x -43,832,375 = 43,832,375
Notice both answers equal 43,832,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,832,375 and divide it by 2:
43,832,375 ÷ 2 = 21,916,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,916,187.5 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 | 43,832,375 | |
| -1 | -43,832,375 |
Now, we try dividing 43,832,375 by 3:
43,832,375 ÷ 3 = 14,610,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,610,791.6667 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 | 43,832,375 | |
| -1 | -43,832,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,832,375 ÷ 4 = 10,958,093.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,958,093.75 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 | 43,832,375 | |
| -1 | 43,832,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 85 | 125 | 425 | 2,125 | 20,627 | 103,135 | 350,659 | 515,675 | 1,753,295 | 2,578,375 | 8,766,475 | 43,832,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -85 | -125 | -425 | -2,125 | -20,627 | -103,135 | -350,659 | -515,675 | -1,753,295 | -2,578,375 | -8,766,475 | -43,832,375 |
