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 41,545,015, 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 | 41,545,015 | |
| -1 | -41,545,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,545,015.
Example:
1 x 41,545,015 = 41,545,015
and
-1 x -41,545,015 = 41,545,015
Notice both answers equal 41,545,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,545,015 and divide it by 2:
41,545,015 ÷ 2 = 20,772,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,772,507.5 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 | 41,545,015 | |
| -1 | -41,545,015 |
Now, we try dividing 41,545,015 by 3:
41,545,015 ÷ 3 = 13,848,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,848,338.3333 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 | 41,545,015 | |
| -1 | -41,545,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,545,015 ÷ 4 = 10,386,253.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,386,253.75 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 | 41,545,015 | |
| -1 | 41,545,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 113 | 115 | 139 | 529 | 565 | 695 | 2,599 | 2,645 | 3,197 | 12,995 | 15,707 | 15,985 | 59,777 | 73,531 | 78,535 | 298,885 | 361,261 | 367,655 | 1,806,305 | 8,309,003 | 41,545,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -113 | -115 | -139 | -529 | -565 | -695 | -2,599 | -2,645 | -3,197 | -12,995 | -15,707 | -15,985 | -59,777 | -73,531 | -78,535 | -298,885 | -361,261 | -367,655 | -1,806,305 | -8,309,003 | -41,545,015 |
