How do I find the factor combinations of the number 41,137,705?

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 41,137,705, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 41,137,705
-1 -41,137,705

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,137,705.

Example:
1 x 41,137,705 = 41,137,705
and
-1 x -41,137,705 = 41,137,705
Notice both answers equal 41,137,705

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,137,705 and divide it by 2:

41,137,705 ÷ 2 = 20,568,852.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,568,852.5 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 41,137,705
-1 -41,137,705

Now, we try dividing 41,137,705 by 3:

41,137,705 ÷ 3 = 13,712,568.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,712,568.3333 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 41,137,705
-1 -41,137,705

Let's try dividing by 4:

41,137,705 ÷ 4 = 10,284,426.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,284,426.25 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 41,137,705
-1 41,137,705
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

15717354983851192452893434155815958331,4111,4451,7152,0232,9054,0674,1655,8317,0559,87710,11514,16120,33523,98728,46929,15549,38569,13970,80599,127119,935142,345167,909345,695483,973495,635839,5451,175,3632,419,8655,876,8158,227,54141,137,705
