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 41,334,223, 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 | 41,334,223 | |
| -1 | -41,334,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,334,223.
Example:
1 x 41,334,223 = 41,334,223
and
-1 x -41,334,223 = 41,334,223
Notice both answers equal 41,334,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,334,223 and divide it by 2:
41,334,223 ÷ 2 = 20,667,111.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,667,111.5 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 | 41,334,223 | |
| -1 | -41,334,223 |
Now, we try dividing 41,334,223 by 3:
41,334,223 ÷ 3 = 13,778,074.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,778,074.3333 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 | 41,334,223 | |
| -1 | -41,334,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,334,223 ÷ 4 = 10,333,555.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,333,555.75 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 | 41,334,223 | |
| -1 | 41,334,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 53 | 301 | 371 | 2,279 | 2,591 | 15,953 | 18,137 | 111,413 | 137,323 | 779,891 | 961,261 | 5,904,889 | 41,334,223 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -53 | -301 | -371 | -2,279 | -2,591 | -15,953 | -18,137 | -111,413 | -137,323 | -779,891 | -961,261 | -5,904,889 | -41,334,223 |
