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 40,826,095, 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 | 40,826,095 | |
| -1 | -40,826,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,826,095.
Example:
1 x 40,826,095 = 40,826,095
and
-1 x -40,826,095 = 40,826,095
Notice both answers equal 40,826,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,826,095 and divide it by 2:
40,826,095 ÷ 2 = 20,413,047.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,413,047.5 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 | 40,826,095 | |
| -1 | -40,826,095 |
Now, we try dividing 40,826,095 by 3:
40,826,095 ÷ 3 = 13,608,698.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,608,698.3333 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 | 40,826,095 | |
| -1 | -40,826,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,826,095 ÷ 4 = 10,206,523.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,206,523.75 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 | 40,826,095 | |
| -1 | 40,826,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 457 | 1,051 | 2,285 | 5,255 | 7,769 | 17,867 | 38,845 | 89,335 | 480,307 | 2,401,535 | 8,165,219 | 40,826,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -457 | -1,051 | -2,285 | -5,255 | -7,769 | -17,867 | -38,845 | -89,335 | -480,307 | -2,401,535 | -8,165,219 | -40,826,095 |
