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 41,245,225, 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 | 41,245,225 | |
| -1 | -41,245,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,245,225.
Example:
1 x 41,245,225 = 41,245,225
and
-1 x -41,245,225 = 41,245,225
Notice both answers equal 41,245,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,245,225 and divide it by 2:
41,245,225 ÷ 2 = 20,622,612.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,622,612.5 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 | 41,245,225 | |
| -1 | -41,245,225 |
Now, we try dividing 41,245,225 by 3:
41,245,225 ÷ 3 = 13,748,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,748,408.3333 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 | 41,245,225 | |
| -1 | -41,245,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,245,225 ÷ 4 = 10,311,306.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,311,306.25 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 | 41,245,225 | |
| -1 | 41,245,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 175 | 211 | 1,055 | 1,117 | 1,477 | 5,275 | 5,585 | 7,385 | 7,819 | 27,925 | 36,925 | 39,095 | 195,475 | 235,687 | 1,178,435 | 1,649,809 | 5,892,175 | 8,249,045 | 41,245,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -175 | -211 | -1,055 | -1,117 | -1,477 | -5,275 | -5,585 | -7,385 | -7,819 | -27,925 | -36,925 | -39,095 | -195,475 | -235,687 | -1,178,435 | -1,649,809 | -5,892,175 | -8,249,045 | -41,245,225 |
