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 42,283,423, 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 | 42,283,423 | |
| -1 | -42,283,423 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 42,283,423.
Example:
1 x 42,283,423 = 42,283,423
and
-1 x -42,283,423 = 42,283,423
Notice both answers equal 42,283,423
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 42,283,423 and divide it by 2:
42,283,423 ÷ 2 = 21,141,711.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,141,711.5 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 | 42,283,423 | |
| -1 | -42,283,423 |
Now, we try dividing 42,283,423 by 3:
42,283,423 ÷ 3 = 14,094,474.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,094,474.3333 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 | 42,283,423 | |
| -1 | -42,283,423 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
42,283,423 ÷ 4 = 10,570,855.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,570,855.75 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 | 42,283,423 | |
| -1 | 42,283,423 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 49 | 91 | 287 | 533 | 637 | 1,619 | 2,009 | 3,731 | 11,333 | 21,047 | 26,117 | 66,379 | 79,331 | 147,329 | 464,653 | 862,927 | 1,031,303 | 3,252,571 | 6,040,489 | 42,283,423 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -49 | -91 | -287 | -533 | -637 | -1,619 | -2,009 | -3,731 | -11,333 | -21,047 | -26,117 | -66,379 | -79,331 | -147,329 | -464,653 | -862,927 | -1,031,303 | -3,252,571 | -6,040,489 | -42,283,423 |
