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 241,011,407, 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 | 241,011,407 | |
| -1 | -241,011,407 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 241,011,407.
Example:
1 x 241,011,407 = 241,011,407
and
-1 x -241,011,407 = 241,011,407
Notice both answers equal 241,011,407
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 241,011,407 and divide it by 2:
241,011,407 ÷ 2 = 120,505,703.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,505,703.5 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 | 241,011,407 | |
| -1 | -241,011,407 |
Now, we try dividing 241,011,407 by 3:
241,011,407 ÷ 3 = 80,337,135.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,337,135.6667 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 | 241,011,407 | |
| -1 | -241,011,407 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
241,011,407 ÷ 4 = 60,252,851.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,252,851.75 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 | 241,011,407 | |
| -1 | 241,011,407 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 169 | 287 | 533 | 1,183 | 3,731 | 4,969 | 6,929 | 34,783 | 48,503 | 64,597 | 203,729 | 452,179 | 839,761 | 1,426,103 | 2,648,477 | 5,878,327 | 18,539,339 | 34,430,201 | 241,011,407 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -169 | -287 | -533 | -1,183 | -3,731 | -4,969 | -6,929 | -34,783 | -48,503 | -64,597 | -203,729 | -452,179 | -839,761 | -1,426,103 | -2,648,477 | -5,878,327 | -18,539,339 | -34,430,201 | -241,011,407 |
