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 41,015,443, 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 | 41,015,443 | |
| -1 | -41,015,443 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,015,443.
Example:
1 x 41,015,443 = 41,015,443
and
-1 x -41,015,443 = 41,015,443
Notice both answers equal 41,015,443
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,015,443 and divide it by 2:
41,015,443 ÷ 2 = 20,507,721.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,507,721.5 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 | 41,015,443 | |
| -1 | -41,015,443 |
Now, we try dividing 41,015,443 by 3:
41,015,443 ÷ 3 = 13,671,814.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,671,814.3333 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 | 41,015,443 | |
| -1 | -41,015,443 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,015,443 ÷ 4 = 10,253,860.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,253,860.75 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 | 41,015,443 | |
| -1 | 41,015,443 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 47 | 59 | 329 | 413 | 2,113 | 2,773 | 14,791 | 19,411 | 99,311 | 124,667 | 695,177 | 872,669 | 5,859,349 | 41,015,443 |
| -1 | -7 | -47 | -59 | -329 | -413 | -2,113 | -2,773 | -14,791 | -19,411 | -99,311 | -124,667 | -695,177 | -872,669 | -5,859,349 | -41,015,443 |
