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 44,344,043, 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 | 44,344,043 | |
| -1 | -44,344,043 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,344,043.
Example:
1 x 44,344,043 = 44,344,043
and
-1 x -44,344,043 = 44,344,043
Notice both answers equal 44,344,043
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,344,043 and divide it by 2:
44,344,043 ÷ 2 = 22,172,021.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,172,021.5 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 | 44,344,043 | |
| -1 | -44,344,043 |
Now, we try dividing 44,344,043 by 3:
44,344,043 ÷ 3 = 14,781,347.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,781,347.6667 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 | 44,344,043 | |
| -1 | -44,344,043 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,344,043 ÷ 4 = 11,086,010.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,086,010.75 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 | 44,344,043 | |
| -1 | 44,344,043 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 79 | 589 | 953 | 1,501 | 2,449 | 18,107 | 29,543 | 46,531 | 75,287 | 561,317 | 1,430,453 | 2,333,897 | 44,344,043 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -79 | -589 | -953 | -1,501 | -2,449 | -18,107 | -29,543 | -46,531 | -75,287 | -561,317 | -1,430,453 | -2,333,897 | -44,344,043 |
