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 41,300,795, 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 | 41,300,795 | |
| -1 | -41,300,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,300,795.
Example:
1 x 41,300,795 = 41,300,795
and
-1 x -41,300,795 = 41,300,795
Notice both answers equal 41,300,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,300,795 and divide it by 2:
41,300,795 ÷ 2 = 20,650,397.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,650,397.5 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 | 41,300,795 | |
| -1 | -41,300,795 |
Now, we try dividing 41,300,795 by 3:
41,300,795 ÷ 3 = 13,766,931.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,766,931.6667 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 | 41,300,795 | |
| -1 | -41,300,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,300,795 ÷ 4 = 10,325,198.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,325,198.75 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 | 41,300,795 | |
| -1 | 41,300,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 251 | 1,255 | 32,909 | 164,545 | 8,260,159 | 41,300,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -251 | -1,255 | -32,909 | -164,545 | -8,260,159 | -41,300,795 |
