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 41,622,307, 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 | 41,622,307 | |
| -1 | -41,622,307 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,622,307.
Example:
1 x 41,622,307 = 41,622,307
and
-1 x -41,622,307 = 41,622,307
Notice both answers equal 41,622,307
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,622,307 and divide it by 2:
41,622,307 ÷ 2 = 20,811,153.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,811,153.5 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 | 41,622,307 | |
| -1 | -41,622,307 |
Now, we try dividing 41,622,307 by 3:
41,622,307 ÷ 3 = 13,874,102.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,874,102.3333 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 | 41,622,307 | |
| -1 | -41,622,307 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,622,307 ÷ 4 = 10,405,576.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,405,576.75 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 | 41,622,307 | |
| -1 | 41,622,307 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 47 | 113 | 461 | 799 | 1,921 | 5,311 | 7,837 | 21,667 | 52,093 | 90,287 | 368,339 | 885,581 | 2,448,371 | 41,622,307 |
| -1 | -17 | -47 | -113 | -461 | -799 | -1,921 | -5,311 | -7,837 | -21,667 | -52,093 | -90,287 | -368,339 | -885,581 | -2,448,371 | -41,622,307 |
