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 40,836,083, 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 | 40,836,083 | |
| -1 | -40,836,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 40,836,083.
Example:
1 x 40,836,083 = 40,836,083
and
-1 x -40,836,083 = 40,836,083
Notice both answers equal 40,836,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 40,836,083 and divide it by 2:
40,836,083 ÷ 2 = 20,418,041.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,418,041.5 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 | 40,836,083 | |
| -1 | -40,836,083 |
Now, we try dividing 40,836,083 by 3:
40,836,083 ÷ 3 = 13,612,027.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,612,027.6667 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 | 40,836,083 | |
| -1 | -40,836,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
40,836,083 ÷ 4 = 10,209,020.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,209,020.75 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 | 40,836,083 | |
| -1 | 40,836,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 59 | 83 | 269 | 1,829 | 2,573 | 4,897 | 8,339 | 15,871 | 22,327 | 151,807 | 492,001 | 692,137 | 1,317,293 | 40,836,083 |
| -1 | -31 | -59 | -83 | -269 | -1,829 | -2,573 | -4,897 | -8,339 | -15,871 | -22,327 | -151,807 | -492,001 | -692,137 | -1,317,293 | -40,836,083 |
