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 41,045,263, 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 | 41,045,263 | |
| -1 | -41,045,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,045,263.
Example:
1 x 41,045,263 = 41,045,263
and
-1 x -41,045,263 = 41,045,263
Notice both answers equal 41,045,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,045,263 and divide it by 2:
41,045,263 ÷ 2 = 20,522,631.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,522,631.5 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 | 41,045,263 | |
| -1 | -41,045,263 |
Now, we try dividing 41,045,263 by 3:
41,045,263 ÷ 3 = 13,681,754.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,681,754.3333 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 | 41,045,263 | |
| -1 | -41,045,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,045,263 ÷ 4 = 10,261,315.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,261,315.75 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 | 41,045,263 | |
| -1 | 41,045,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 43 | 133 | 301 | 817 | 5,719 | 7,177 | 50,239 | 136,363 | 308,611 | 954,541 | 2,160,277 | 5,863,609 | 41,045,263 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -43 | -133 | -301 | -817 | -5,719 | -7,177 | -50,239 | -136,363 | -308,611 | -954,541 | -2,160,277 | -5,863,609 | -41,045,263 |
