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 41,053,091, 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 | 41,053,091 | |
| -1 | -41,053,091 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,053,091.
Example:
1 x 41,053,091 = 41,053,091
and
-1 x -41,053,091 = 41,053,091
Notice both answers equal 41,053,091
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,053,091 and divide it by 2:
41,053,091 ÷ 2 = 20,526,545.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,526,545.5 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 | 41,053,091 | |
| -1 | -41,053,091 |
Now, we try dividing 41,053,091 by 3:
41,053,091 ÷ 3 = 13,684,363.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,684,363.6667 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 | 41,053,091 | |
| -1 | -41,053,091 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,053,091 ÷ 4 = 10,263,272.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,263,272.75 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 | 41,053,091 | |
| -1 | 41,053,091 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 37 | 437 | 703 | 851 | 2,539 | 16,169 | 48,241 | 58,397 | 93,943 | 1,109,543 | 1,784,917 | 2,160,689 | 41,053,091 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -37 | -437 | -703 | -851 | -2,539 | -16,169 | -48,241 | -58,397 | -93,943 | -1,109,543 | -1,784,917 | -2,160,689 | -41,053,091 |
