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 41,654,267, 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 | 41,654,267 | |
| -1 | -41,654,267 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,654,267.
Example:
1 x 41,654,267 = 41,654,267
and
-1 x -41,654,267 = 41,654,267
Notice both answers equal 41,654,267
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,654,267 and divide it by 2:
41,654,267 ÷ 2 = 20,827,133.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,827,133.5 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 | 41,654,267 | |
| -1 | -41,654,267 |
Now, we try dividing 41,654,267 by 3:
41,654,267 ÷ 3 = 13,884,755.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,884,755.6667 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 | 41,654,267 | |
| -1 | -41,654,267 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,654,267 ÷ 4 = 10,413,566.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,413,566.75 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 | 41,654,267 | |
| -1 | 41,654,267 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 37 | 47 | 629 | 799 | 1,409 | 1,739 | 23,953 | 29,563 | 52,133 | 66,223 | 886,261 | 1,125,791 | 2,450,251 | 41,654,267 |
| -1 | -17 | -37 | -47 | -629 | -799 | -1,409 | -1,739 | -23,953 | -29,563 | -52,133 | -66,223 | -886,261 | -1,125,791 | -2,450,251 | -41,654,267 |
