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 40,559,035, 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 | 40,559,035 | |
| -1 | -40,559,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,559,035.
Example:
1 x 40,559,035 = 40,559,035
and
-1 x -40,559,035 = 40,559,035
Notice both answers equal 40,559,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,559,035 and divide it by 2:
40,559,035 ÷ 2 = 20,279,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,279,517.5 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 | 40,559,035 | |
| -1 | -40,559,035 |
Now, we try dividing 40,559,035 by 3:
40,559,035 ÷ 3 = 13,519,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,519,678.3333 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 | 40,559,035 | |
| -1 | -40,559,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,559,035 ÷ 4 = 10,139,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,139,758.75 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 | 40,559,035 | |
| -1 | 40,559,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 349 | 1,745 | 2,113 | 3,839 | 10,565 | 19,195 | 23,243 | 116,215 | 737,437 | 3,687,185 | 8,111,807 | 40,559,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -349 | -1,745 | -2,113 | -3,839 | -10,565 | -19,195 | -23,243 | -116,215 | -737,437 | -3,687,185 | -8,111,807 | -40,559,035 |
