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 41,113,549, 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 | 41,113,549 | |
| -1 | -41,113,549 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,113,549.
Example:
1 x 41,113,549 = 41,113,549
and
-1 x -41,113,549 = 41,113,549
Notice both answers equal 41,113,549
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,113,549 and divide it by 2:
41,113,549 ÷ 2 = 20,556,774.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,556,774.5 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 | 41,113,549 | |
| -1 | -41,113,549 |
Now, we try dividing 41,113,549 by 3:
41,113,549 ÷ 3 = 13,704,516.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,704,516.3333 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 | 41,113,549 | |
| -1 | -41,113,549 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,113,549 ÷ 4 = 10,278,387.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,278,387.25 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 | 41,113,549 | |
| -1 | 41,113,549 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 233 | 251 | 703 | 4,427 | 4,769 | 8,621 | 9,287 | 58,483 | 163,799 | 176,453 | 1,111,177 | 2,163,871 | 41,113,549 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -233 | -251 | -703 | -4,427 | -4,769 | -8,621 | -9,287 | -58,483 | -163,799 | -176,453 | -1,111,177 | -2,163,871 | -41,113,549 |
