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 43,832,503, 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 | 43,832,503 | |
| -1 | -43,832,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,832,503.
Example:
1 x 43,832,503 = 43,832,503
and
-1 x -43,832,503 = 43,832,503
Notice both answers equal 43,832,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,832,503 and divide it by 2:
43,832,503 ÷ 2 = 21,916,251.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,916,251.5 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 | 43,832,503 | |
| -1 | -43,832,503 |
Now, we try dividing 43,832,503 by 3:
43,832,503 ÷ 3 = 14,610,834.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,610,834.3333 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 | 43,832,503 | |
| -1 | -43,832,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,832,503 ÷ 4 = 10,958,125.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,958,125.75 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 | 43,832,503 | |
| -1 | 43,832,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 23 | 143 | 253 | 299 | 3,289 | 13,327 | 146,597 | 173,251 | 306,521 | 1,905,761 | 3,371,731 | 3,984,773 | 43,832,503 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -23 | -143 | -253 | -299 | -3,289 | -13,327 | -146,597 | -173,251 | -306,521 | -1,905,761 | -3,371,731 | -3,984,773 | -43,832,503 |
