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 41,410,655, 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 | 41,410,655 | |
| -1 | -41,410,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,410,655.
Example:
1 x 41,410,655 = 41,410,655
and
-1 x -41,410,655 = 41,410,655
Notice both answers equal 41,410,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,410,655 and divide it by 2:
41,410,655 ÷ 2 = 20,705,327.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,705,327.5 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 | 41,410,655 | |
| -1 | -41,410,655 |
Now, we try dividing 41,410,655 by 3:
41,410,655 ÷ 3 = 13,803,551.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,803,551.6667 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 | 41,410,655 | |
| -1 | -41,410,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,410,655 ÷ 4 = 10,352,663.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,352,663.75 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 | 41,410,655 | |
| -1 | 41,410,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 57,917 | 289,585 | 637,087 | 752,921 | 3,185,435 | 3,764,605 | 8,282,131 | 41,410,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -57,917 | -289,585 | -637,087 | -752,921 | -3,185,435 | -3,764,605 | -8,282,131 | -41,410,655 |
