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 41,685,007, 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 | 41,685,007 | |
| -1 | -41,685,007 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,685,007.
Example:
1 x 41,685,007 = 41,685,007
and
-1 x -41,685,007 = 41,685,007
Notice both answers equal 41,685,007
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,685,007 and divide it by 2:
41,685,007 ÷ 2 = 20,842,503.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,842,503.5 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 | 41,685,007 | |
| -1 | -41,685,007 |
Now, we try dividing 41,685,007 by 3:
41,685,007 ÷ 3 = 13,895,002.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,895,002.3333 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 | 41,685,007 | |
| -1 | -41,685,007 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,685,007 ÷ 4 = 10,421,251.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,421,251.75 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 | 41,685,007 | |
| -1 | 41,685,007 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 83 | 91 | 581 | 1,079 | 5,519 | 7,553 | 38,633 | 71,747 | 458,077 | 502,229 | 3,206,539 | 5,955,001 | 41,685,007 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -83 | -91 | -581 | -1,079 | -5,519 | -7,553 | -38,633 | -71,747 | -458,077 | -502,229 | -3,206,539 | -5,955,001 | -41,685,007 |
