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 40,793,263, 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 | 40,793,263 | |
| -1 | -40,793,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,793,263.
Example:
1 x 40,793,263 = 40,793,263
and
-1 x -40,793,263 = 40,793,263
Notice both answers equal 40,793,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,793,263 and divide it by 2:
40,793,263 ÷ 2 = 20,396,631.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,396,631.5 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 | 40,793,263 | |
| -1 | -40,793,263 |
Now, we try dividing 40,793,263 by 3:
40,793,263 ÷ 3 = 13,597,754.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,597,754.3333 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 | 40,793,263 | |
| -1 | -40,793,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,793,263 ÷ 4 = 10,198,315.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,198,315.75 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 | 40,793,263 | |
| -1 | 40,793,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 71 | 211 | 389 | 497 | 1,477 | 2,723 | 14,981 | 27,619 | 82,079 | 104,867 | 193,333 | 574,553 | 5,827,609 | 40,793,263 |
| -1 | -7 | -71 | -211 | -389 | -497 | -1,477 | -2,723 | -14,981 | -27,619 | -82,079 | -104,867 | -193,333 | -574,553 | -5,827,609 | -40,793,263 |
