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 41,575,375, 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 | 41,575,375 | |
| -1 | -41,575,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,575,375.
Example:
1 x 41,575,375 = 41,575,375
and
-1 x -41,575,375 = 41,575,375
Notice both answers equal 41,575,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,575,375 and divide it by 2:
41,575,375 ÷ 2 = 20,787,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,787,687.5 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 | 41,575,375 | |
| -1 | -41,575,375 |
Now, we try dividing 41,575,375 by 3:
41,575,375 ÷ 3 = 13,858,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,858,458.3333 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 | 41,575,375 | |
| -1 | -41,575,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,575,375 ÷ 4 = 10,393,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,393,843.75 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 | 41,575,375 | |
| -1 | 41,575,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 115 | 125 | 575 | 2,875 | 14,461 | 72,305 | 332,603 | 361,525 | 1,663,015 | 1,807,625 | 8,315,075 | 41,575,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -115 | -125 | -575 | -2,875 | -14,461 | -72,305 | -332,603 | -361,525 | -1,663,015 | -1,807,625 | -8,315,075 | -41,575,375 |
