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 41,611,235, 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 | 41,611,235 | |
| -1 | -41,611,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,611,235.
Example:
1 x 41,611,235 = 41,611,235
and
-1 x -41,611,235 = 41,611,235
Notice both answers equal 41,611,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,611,235 and divide it by 2:
41,611,235 ÷ 2 = 20,805,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,805,617.5 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 | 41,611,235 | |
| -1 | -41,611,235 |
Now, we try dividing 41,611,235 by 3:
41,611,235 ÷ 3 = 13,870,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,870,411.6667 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 | 41,611,235 | |
| -1 | -41,611,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,611,235 ÷ 4 = 10,402,808.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,402,808.75 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 | 41,611,235 | |
| -1 | 41,611,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 179 | 895 | 2,447 | 3,401 | 12,235 | 17,005 | 46,493 | 232,465 | 438,013 | 2,190,065 | 8,322,247 | 41,611,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -179 | -895 | -2,447 | -3,401 | -12,235 | -17,005 | -46,493 | -232,465 | -438,013 | -2,190,065 | -8,322,247 | -41,611,235 |
