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 40,411,535, 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 | 40,411,535 | |
| -1 | -40,411,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,411,535.
Example:
1 x 40,411,535 = 40,411,535
and
-1 x -40,411,535 = 40,411,535
Notice both answers equal 40,411,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,411,535 and divide it by 2:
40,411,535 ÷ 2 = 20,205,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,205,767.5 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 | 40,411,535 | |
| -1 | -40,411,535 |
Now, we try dividing 40,411,535 by 3:
40,411,535 ÷ 3 = 13,470,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,470,511.6667 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 | 40,411,535 | |
| -1 | -40,411,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,411,535 ÷ 4 = 10,102,883.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,102,883.75 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 | 40,411,535 | |
| -1 | 40,411,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 103 | 131 | 515 | 599 | 655 | 2,995 | 13,493 | 61,697 | 67,465 | 78,469 | 308,485 | 392,345 | 8,082,307 | 40,411,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -103 | -131 | -515 | -599 | -655 | -2,995 | -13,493 | -61,697 | -67,465 | -78,469 | -308,485 | -392,345 | -8,082,307 | -40,411,535 |
