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 40,146,457, 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 | 40,146,457 | |
| -1 | -40,146,457 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,146,457.
Example:
1 x 40,146,457 = 40,146,457
and
-1 x -40,146,457 = 40,146,457
Notice both answers equal 40,146,457
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,146,457 and divide it by 2:
40,146,457 ÷ 2 = 20,073,228.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,073,228.5 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 | 40,146,457 | |
| -1 | -40,146,457 |
Now, we try dividing 40,146,457 by 3:
40,146,457 ÷ 3 = 13,382,152.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,382,152.3333 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 | 40,146,457 | |
| -1 | -40,146,457 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,146,457 ÷ 4 = 10,036,614.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,036,614.25 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 | 40,146,457 | |
| -1 | 40,146,457 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 79 | 97 | 169 | 403 | 1,027 | 1,261 | 2,449 | 3,007 | 5,239 | 7,663 | 13,351 | 16,393 | 31,837 | 39,091 | 99,619 | 237,553 | 413,881 | 508,183 | 1,295,047 | 3,088,189 | 40,146,457 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -79 | -97 | -169 | -403 | -1,027 | -1,261 | -2,449 | -3,007 | -5,239 | -7,663 | -13,351 | -16,393 | -31,837 | -39,091 | -99,619 | -237,553 | -413,881 | -508,183 | -1,295,047 | -3,088,189 | -40,146,457 |
