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 41,751,073, 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 | 41,751,073 | |
| -1 | -41,751,073 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,751,073.
Example:
1 x 41,751,073 = 41,751,073
and
-1 x -41,751,073 = 41,751,073
Notice both answers equal 41,751,073
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,751,073 and divide it by 2:
41,751,073 ÷ 2 = 20,875,536.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,875,536.5 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 | 41,751,073 | |
| -1 | -41,751,073 |
Now, we try dividing 41,751,073 by 3:
41,751,073 ÷ 3 = 13,917,024.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,917,024.3333 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 | 41,751,073 | |
| -1 | -41,751,073 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,751,073 ÷ 4 = 10,437,768.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,437,768.25 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 | 41,751,073 | |
| -1 | 41,751,073 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 271 | 1,693 | 1,897 | 3,523 | 11,851 | 22,009 | 24,661 | 154,063 | 458,803 | 3,211,621 | 5,964,439 | 41,751,073 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -271 | -1,693 | -1,897 | -3,523 | -11,851 | -22,009 | -24,661 | -154,063 | -458,803 | -3,211,621 | -5,964,439 | -41,751,073 |
