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 40,571,333, 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 | 40,571,333 | |
| -1 | -40,571,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,571,333.
Example:
1 x 40,571,333 = 40,571,333
and
-1 x -40,571,333 = 40,571,333
Notice both answers equal 40,571,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,571,333 and divide it by 2:
40,571,333 ÷ 2 = 20,285,666.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,285,666.5 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 | 40,571,333 | |
| -1 | -40,571,333 |
Now, we try dividing 40,571,333 by 3:
40,571,333 ÷ 3 = 13,523,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,523,777.6667 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 | 40,571,333 | |
| -1 | -40,571,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,571,333 ÷ 4 = 10,142,833.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,142,833.25 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 | 40,571,333 | |
| -1 | 40,571,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 187 | 253 | 391 | 4,301 | 9,433 | 103,763 | 160,361 | 216,959 | 1,763,971 | 2,386,549 | 3,688,303 | 40,571,333 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -23 | -187 | -253 | -391 | -4,301 | -9,433 | -103,763 | -160,361 | -216,959 | -1,763,971 | -2,386,549 | -3,688,303 | -40,571,333 |
