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 41,674,321, 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 | 41,674,321 | |
| -1 | -41,674,321 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,674,321.
Example:
1 x 41,674,321 = 41,674,321
and
-1 x -41,674,321 = 41,674,321
Notice both answers equal 41,674,321
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,674,321 and divide it by 2:
41,674,321 ÷ 2 = 20,837,160.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,837,160.5 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 | 41,674,321 | |
| -1 | -41,674,321 |
Now, we try dividing 41,674,321 by 3:
41,674,321 ÷ 3 = 13,891,440.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,891,440.3333 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 | 41,674,321 | |
| -1 | -41,674,321 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,674,321 ÷ 4 = 10,418,580.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,418,580.25 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 | 41,674,321 | |
| -1 | 41,674,321 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 37 | 299 | 481 | 851 | 3,767 | 11,063 | 48,971 | 86,641 | 139,379 | 1,126,333 | 1,811,927 | 3,205,717 | 41,674,321 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -37 | -299 | -481 | -851 | -3,767 | -11,063 | -48,971 | -86,641 | -139,379 | -1,126,333 | -1,811,927 | -3,205,717 | -41,674,321 |
