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 40,110,077, 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 | 40,110,077 | |
| -1 | -40,110,077 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,110,077.
Example:
1 x 40,110,077 = 40,110,077
and
-1 x -40,110,077 = 40,110,077
Notice both answers equal 40,110,077
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,110,077 and divide it by 2:
40,110,077 ÷ 2 = 20,055,038.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,055,038.5 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 | 40,110,077 | |
| -1 | -40,110,077 |
Now, we try dividing 40,110,077 by 3:
40,110,077 ÷ 3 = 13,370,025.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,370,025.6667 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 | 40,110,077 | |
| -1 | -40,110,077 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,110,077 ÷ 4 = 10,027,519.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,027,519.25 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 | 40,110,077 | |
| -1 | 40,110,077 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 337 | 343 | 347 | 2,359 | 2,429 | 16,513 | 17,003 | 115,591 | 116,939 | 119,021 | 818,573 | 5,730,011 | 40,110,077 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -337 | -343 | -347 | -2,359 | -2,429 | -16,513 | -17,003 | -115,591 | -116,939 | -119,021 | -818,573 | -5,730,011 | -40,110,077 |
