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 41,313,875, 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 | 41,313,875 | |
| -1 | -41,313,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,313,875.
Example:
1 x 41,313,875 = 41,313,875
and
-1 x -41,313,875 = 41,313,875
Notice both answers equal 41,313,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,313,875 and divide it by 2:
41,313,875 ÷ 2 = 20,656,937.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,656,937.5 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 | 41,313,875 | |
| -1 | -41,313,875 |
Now, we try dividing 41,313,875 by 3:
41,313,875 ÷ 3 = 13,771,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,771,291.6667 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 | 41,313,875 | |
| -1 | -41,313,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,313,875 ÷ 4 = 10,328,468.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,328,468.75 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 | 41,313,875 | |
| -1 | 41,313,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 67 | 125 | 335 | 1,675 | 4,933 | 8,375 | 24,665 | 123,325 | 330,511 | 616,625 | 1,652,555 | 8,262,775 | 41,313,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -67 | -125 | -335 | -1,675 | -4,933 | -8,375 | -24,665 | -123,325 | -330,511 | -616,625 | -1,652,555 | -8,262,775 | -41,313,875 |
