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 41,543,005, 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 | 41,543,005 | |
| -1 | -41,543,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,543,005.
Example:
1 x 41,543,005 = 41,543,005
and
-1 x -41,543,005 = 41,543,005
Notice both answers equal 41,543,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,543,005 and divide it by 2:
41,543,005 ÷ 2 = 20,771,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,771,502.5 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 | 41,543,005 | |
| -1 | -41,543,005 |
Now, we try dividing 41,543,005 by 3:
41,543,005 ÷ 3 = 13,847,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,847,668.3333 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 | 41,543,005 | |
| -1 | -41,543,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,543,005 ÷ 4 = 10,385,751.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,385,751.25 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 | 41,543,005 | |
| -1 | 41,543,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 293 | 1,465 | 2,051 | 4,051 | 10,255 | 20,255 | 28,357 | 141,785 | 1,186,943 | 5,934,715 | 8,308,601 | 41,543,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -293 | -1,465 | -2,051 | -4,051 | -10,255 | -20,255 | -28,357 | -141,785 | -1,186,943 | -5,934,715 | -8,308,601 | -41,543,005 |
