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 40,333,435, 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 | 40,333,435 | |
| -1 | -40,333,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,333,435.
Example:
1 x 40,333,435 = 40,333,435
and
-1 x -40,333,435 = 40,333,435
Notice both answers equal 40,333,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,333,435 and divide it by 2:
40,333,435 ÷ 2 = 20,166,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,166,717.5 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 | 40,333,435 | |
| -1 | -40,333,435 |
Now, we try dividing 40,333,435 by 3:
40,333,435 ÷ 3 = 13,444,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,444,478.3333 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 | 40,333,435 | |
| -1 | -40,333,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,333,435 ÷ 4 = 10,083,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,083,358.75 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 | 40,333,435 | |
| -1 | 40,333,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 83 | 85 | 415 | 1,411 | 5,717 | 7,055 | 28,585 | 97,189 | 474,511 | 485,945 | 2,372,555 | 8,066,687 | 40,333,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -83 | -85 | -415 | -1,411 | -5,717 | -7,055 | -28,585 | -97,189 | -474,511 | -485,945 | -2,372,555 | -8,066,687 | -40,333,435 |
