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 40,448,555, 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 | 40,448,555 | |
| -1 | -40,448,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,448,555.
Example:
1 x 40,448,555 = 40,448,555
and
-1 x -40,448,555 = 40,448,555
Notice both answers equal 40,448,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,448,555 and divide it by 2:
40,448,555 ÷ 2 = 20,224,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,224,277.5 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 | 40,448,555 | |
| -1 | -40,448,555 |
Now, we try dividing 40,448,555 by 3:
40,448,555 ÷ 3 = 13,482,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,482,851.6667 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 | 40,448,555 | |
| -1 | -40,448,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,448,555 ÷ 4 = 10,112,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,112,138.75 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 | 40,448,555 | |
| -1 | 40,448,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 619 | 1,867 | 3,095 | 4,333 | 9,335 | 13,069 | 21,665 | 65,345 | 1,155,673 | 5,778,365 | 8,089,711 | 40,448,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -619 | -1,867 | -3,095 | -4,333 | -9,335 | -13,069 | -21,665 | -65,345 | -1,155,673 | -5,778,365 | -8,089,711 | -40,448,555 |
