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 41,356,535, 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 | 41,356,535 | |
| -1 | -41,356,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,356,535.
Example:
1 x 41,356,535 = 41,356,535
and
-1 x -41,356,535 = 41,356,535
Notice both answers equal 41,356,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,356,535 and divide it by 2:
41,356,535 ÷ 2 = 20,678,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,678,267.5 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 | 41,356,535 | |
| -1 | -41,356,535 |
Now, we try dividing 41,356,535 by 3:
41,356,535 ÷ 3 = 13,785,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,785,511.6667 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 | 41,356,535 | |
| -1 | -41,356,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,356,535 ÷ 4 = 10,339,133.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,339,133.75 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 | 41,356,535 | |
| -1 | 41,356,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 389 | 1,933 | 1,945 | 4,279 | 9,665 | 21,263 | 21,395 | 106,315 | 751,937 | 3,759,685 | 8,271,307 | 41,356,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -389 | -1,933 | -1,945 | -4,279 | -9,665 | -21,263 | -21,395 | -106,315 | -751,937 | -3,759,685 | -8,271,307 | -41,356,535 |
