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 41,355,011, 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 | 41,355,011 | |
| -1 | -41,355,011 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,355,011.
Example:
1 x 41,355,011 = 41,355,011
and
-1 x -41,355,011 = 41,355,011
Notice both answers equal 41,355,011
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,355,011 and divide it by 2:
41,355,011 ÷ 2 = 20,677,505.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,677,505.5 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 | 41,355,011 | |
| -1 | -41,355,011 |
Now, we try dividing 41,355,011 by 3:
41,355,011 ÷ 3 = 13,785,003.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,785,003.6667 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 | 41,355,011 | |
| -1 | -41,355,011 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,355,011 ÷ 4 = 10,338,752.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,338,752.75 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 | 41,355,011 | |
| -1 | 41,355,011 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 61 | 73 | 251 | 2,257 | 2,701 | 4,453 | 9,287 | 15,311 | 18,323 | 164,761 | 566,507 | 677,951 | 1,117,703 | 41,355,011 |
| -1 | -37 | -61 | -73 | -251 | -2,257 | -2,701 | -4,453 | -9,287 | -15,311 | -18,323 | -164,761 | -566,507 | -677,951 | -1,117,703 | -41,355,011 |
