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 40,679,555, 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 | 40,679,555 | |
| -1 | -40,679,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,679,555.
Example:
1 x 40,679,555 = 40,679,555
and
-1 x -40,679,555 = 40,679,555
Notice both answers equal 40,679,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,679,555 and divide it by 2:
40,679,555 ÷ 2 = 20,339,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,339,777.5 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 | 40,679,555 | |
| -1 | -40,679,555 |
Now, we try dividing 40,679,555 by 3:
40,679,555 ÷ 3 = 13,559,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,559,851.6667 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 | 40,679,555 | |
| -1 | -40,679,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,679,555 ÷ 4 = 10,169,888.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,169,888.75 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 | 40,679,555 | |
| -1 | 40,679,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 49 | 85 | 119 | 245 | 595 | 833 | 4,165 | 9,767 | 48,835 | 68,369 | 166,039 | 341,845 | 478,583 | 830,195 | 1,162,273 | 2,392,915 | 5,811,365 | 8,135,911 | 40,679,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -49 | -85 | -119 | -245 | -595 | -833 | -4,165 | -9,767 | -48,835 | -68,369 | -166,039 | -341,845 | -478,583 | -830,195 | -1,162,273 | -2,392,915 | -5,811,365 | -8,135,911 | -40,679,555 |
