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 41,033,245, 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 | 41,033,245 | |
| -1 | -41,033,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,033,245.
Example:
1 x 41,033,245 = 41,033,245
and
-1 x -41,033,245 = 41,033,245
Notice both answers equal 41,033,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,033,245 and divide it by 2:
41,033,245 ÷ 2 = 20,516,622.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,516,622.5 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 | 41,033,245 | |
| -1 | -41,033,245 |
Now, we try dividing 41,033,245 by 3:
41,033,245 ÷ 3 = 13,677,748.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,677,748.3333 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 | 41,033,245 | |
| -1 | -41,033,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,033,245 ÷ 4 = 10,258,311.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,258,311.25 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 | 41,033,245 | |
| -1 | 41,033,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 433 | 1,723 | 2,165 | 4,763 | 8,615 | 18,953 | 23,815 | 94,765 | 746,059 | 3,730,295 | 8,206,649 | 41,033,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -433 | -1,723 | -2,165 | -4,763 | -8,615 | -18,953 | -23,815 | -94,765 | -746,059 | -3,730,295 | -8,206,649 | -41,033,245 |
