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 56,043,433, 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 | 56,043,433 | |
| -1 | -56,043,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,043,433.
Example:
1 x 56,043,433 = 56,043,433
and
-1 x -56,043,433 = 56,043,433
Notice both answers equal 56,043,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,043,433 and divide it by 2:
56,043,433 ÷ 2 = 28,021,716.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,021,716.5 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 | 56,043,433 | |
| -1 | -56,043,433 |
Now, we try dividing 56,043,433 by 3:
56,043,433 ÷ 3 = 18,681,144.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,681,144.3333 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 | 56,043,433 | |
| -1 | -56,043,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,043,433 ÷ 4 = 14,010,858.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,010,858.25 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 | 56,043,433 | |
| -1 | 56,043,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 41 | 103 | 577 | 943 | 2,369 | 4,223 | 13,271 | 23,657 | 59,431 | 97,129 | 544,111 | 1,366,913 | 2,436,671 | 56,043,433 |
| -1 | -23 | -41 | -103 | -577 | -943 | -2,369 | -4,223 | -13,271 | -23,657 | -59,431 | -97,129 | -544,111 | -1,366,913 | -2,436,671 | -56,043,433 |
