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 41,637,127, 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 | 41,637,127 | |
| -1 | -41,637,127 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,637,127.
Example:
1 x 41,637,127 = 41,637,127
and
-1 x -41,637,127 = 41,637,127
Notice both answers equal 41,637,127
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,637,127 and divide it by 2:
41,637,127 ÷ 2 = 20,818,563.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,818,563.5 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 | 41,637,127 | |
| -1 | -41,637,127 |
Now, we try dividing 41,637,127 by 3:
41,637,127 ÷ 3 = 13,879,042.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,879,042.3333 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 | 41,637,127 | |
| -1 | -41,637,127 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,637,127 ÷ 4 = 10,409,281.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,409,281.75 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 | 41,637,127 | |
| -1 | 41,637,127 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 203 | 443 | 463 | 3,101 | 3,241 | 12,847 | 13,427 | 89,929 | 93,989 | 205,109 | 1,435,763 | 5,948,161 | 41,637,127 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -203 | -443 | -463 | -3,101 | -3,241 | -12,847 | -13,427 | -89,929 | -93,989 | -205,109 | -1,435,763 | -5,948,161 | -41,637,127 |
