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 41,051,101, 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 | 41,051,101 | |
| -1 | -41,051,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,051,101.
Example:
1 x 41,051,101 = 41,051,101
and
-1 x -41,051,101 = 41,051,101
Notice both answers equal 41,051,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,051,101 and divide it by 2:
41,051,101 ÷ 2 = 20,525,550.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,525,550.5 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 | 41,051,101 | |
| -1 | -41,051,101 |
Now, we try dividing 41,051,101 by 3:
41,051,101 ÷ 3 = 13,683,700.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,683,700.3333 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 | 41,051,101 | |
| -1 | -41,051,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,051,101 ÷ 4 = 10,262,775.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,262,775.25 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 | 41,051,101 | |
| -1 | 41,051,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 67 | 91 | 469 | 871 | 6,097 | 6,733 | 47,131 | 87,529 | 451,111 | 612,703 | 3,157,777 | 5,864,443 | 41,051,101 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -67 | -91 | -469 | -871 | -6,097 | -6,733 | -47,131 | -87,529 | -451,111 | -612,703 | -3,157,777 | -5,864,443 | -41,051,101 |
