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 41,400,443, 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 | 41,400,443 | |
| -1 | -41,400,443 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,400,443.
Example:
1 x 41,400,443 = 41,400,443
and
-1 x -41,400,443 = 41,400,443
Notice both answers equal 41,400,443
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,400,443 and divide it by 2:
41,400,443 ÷ 2 = 20,700,221.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,700,221.5 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 | 41,400,443 | |
| -1 | -41,400,443 |
Now, we try dividing 41,400,443 by 3:
41,400,443 ÷ 3 = 13,800,147.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,800,147.6667 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 | 41,400,443 | |
| -1 | -41,400,443 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,400,443 ÷ 4 = 10,350,110.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,350,110.75 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 | 41,400,443 | |
| -1 | 41,400,443 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 49 | 301 | 343 | 401 | 2,107 | 2,401 | 2,807 | 14,749 | 17,243 | 19,649 | 103,243 | 120,701 | 137,543 | 844,907 | 962,801 | 5,914,349 | 41,400,443 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -49 | -301 | -343 | -401 | -2,107 | -2,401 | -2,807 | -14,749 | -17,243 | -19,649 | -103,243 | -120,701 | -137,543 | -844,907 | -962,801 | -5,914,349 | -41,400,443 |
