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 41,104,225, 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 | 41,104,225 | |
| -1 | -41,104,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,104,225.
Example:
1 x 41,104,225 = 41,104,225
and
-1 x -41,104,225 = 41,104,225
Notice both answers equal 41,104,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,104,225 and divide it by 2:
41,104,225 ÷ 2 = 20,552,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,552,112.5 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 | 41,104,225 | |
| -1 | -41,104,225 |
Now, we try dividing 41,104,225 by 3:
41,104,225 ÷ 3 = 13,701,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,701,408.3333 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 | 41,104,225 | |
| -1 | -41,104,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,104,225 ÷ 4 = 10,276,056.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,276,056.25 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 | 41,104,225 | |
| -1 | 41,104,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 37 | 185 | 925 | 1,201 | 1,369 | 6,005 | 6,845 | 30,025 | 34,225 | 44,437 | 222,185 | 1,110,925 | 1,644,169 | 8,220,845 | 41,104,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -37 | -185 | -925 | -1,201 | -1,369 | -6,005 | -6,845 | -30,025 | -34,225 | -44,437 | -222,185 | -1,110,925 | -1,644,169 | -8,220,845 | -41,104,225 |
