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 41,650,235, 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 | 41,650,235 | |
| -1 | -41,650,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,650,235.
Example:
1 x 41,650,235 = 41,650,235
and
-1 x -41,650,235 = 41,650,235
Notice both answers equal 41,650,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,650,235 and divide it by 2:
41,650,235 ÷ 2 = 20,825,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,825,117.5 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 | 41,650,235 | |
| -1 | -41,650,235 |
Now, we try dividing 41,650,235 by 3:
41,650,235 ÷ 3 = 13,883,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,883,411.6667 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 | 41,650,235 | |
| -1 | -41,650,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,650,235 ÷ 4 = 10,412,558.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,412,558.75 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 | 41,650,235 | |
| -1 | 41,650,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 145 | 319 | 1,595 | 26,113 | 130,565 | 287,243 | 757,277 | 1,436,215 | 3,786,385 | 8,330,047 | 41,650,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -145 | -319 | -1,595 | -26,113 | -130,565 | -287,243 | -757,277 | -1,436,215 | -3,786,385 | -8,330,047 | -41,650,235 |
