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 43,878,575, 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 | 43,878,575 | |
| -1 | -43,878,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 43,878,575.
Example:
1 x 43,878,575 = 43,878,575
and
-1 x -43,878,575 = 43,878,575
Notice both answers equal 43,878,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 43,878,575 and divide it by 2:
43,878,575 ÷ 2 = 21,939,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,939,287.5 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 | 43,878,575 | |
| -1 | -43,878,575 |
Now, we try dividing 43,878,575 by 3:
43,878,575 ÷ 3 = 14,626,191.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,626,191.6667 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 | 43,878,575 | |
| -1 | -43,878,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
43,878,575 ÷ 4 = 10,969,643.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,969,643.75 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 | 43,878,575 | |
| -1 | 43,878,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 79 | 325 | 395 | 1,027 | 1,709 | 1,975 | 5,135 | 8,545 | 22,217 | 25,675 | 42,725 | 111,085 | 135,011 | 555,425 | 675,055 | 1,755,143 | 3,375,275 | 8,775,715 | 43,878,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -79 | -325 | -395 | -1,027 | -1,709 | -1,975 | -5,135 | -8,545 | -22,217 | -25,675 | -42,725 | -111,085 | -135,011 | -555,425 | -675,055 | -1,755,143 | -3,375,275 | -8,775,715 | -43,878,575 |
