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 41,013,511, 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 | 41,013,511 | |
| -1 | -41,013,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,013,511.
Example:
1 x 41,013,511 = 41,013,511
and
-1 x -41,013,511 = 41,013,511
Notice both answers equal 41,013,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,013,511 and divide it by 2:
41,013,511 ÷ 2 = 20,506,755.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,506,755.5 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 | 41,013,511 | |
| -1 | -41,013,511 |
Now, we try dividing 41,013,511 by 3:
41,013,511 ÷ 3 = 13,671,170.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,671,170.3333 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 | 41,013,511 | |
| -1 | -41,013,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,013,511 ÷ 4 = 10,253,377.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,253,377.75 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 | 41,013,511 | |
| -1 | 41,013,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 29 | 77 | 203 | 319 | 2,233 | 18,367 | 128,569 | 202,037 | 532,643 | 1,414,259 | 3,728,501 | 5,859,073 | 41,013,511 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -29 | -77 | -203 | -319 | -2,233 | -18,367 | -128,569 | -202,037 | -532,643 | -1,414,259 | -3,728,501 | -5,859,073 | -41,013,511 |
