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 40,344,005, 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 | 40,344,005 | |
| -1 | -40,344,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,344,005.
Example:
1 x 40,344,005 = 40,344,005
and
-1 x -40,344,005 = 40,344,005
Notice both answers equal 40,344,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,344,005 and divide it by 2:
40,344,005 ÷ 2 = 20,172,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,172,002.5 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 | 40,344,005 | |
| -1 | -40,344,005 |
Now, we try dividing 40,344,005 by 3:
40,344,005 ÷ 3 = 13,448,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,448,001.6667 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 | 40,344,005 | |
| -1 | -40,344,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,344,005 ÷ 4 = 10,086,001.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,086,001.25 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 | 40,344,005 | |
| -1 | 40,344,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 571 | 1,087 | 2,855 | 5,435 | 7,423 | 14,131 | 37,115 | 70,655 | 620,677 | 3,103,385 | 8,068,801 | 40,344,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -571 | -1,087 | -2,855 | -5,435 | -7,423 | -14,131 | -37,115 | -70,655 | -620,677 | -3,103,385 | -8,068,801 | -40,344,005 |
