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 41,810,041, 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 | 41,810,041 | |
| -1 | -41,810,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,810,041.
Example:
1 x 41,810,041 = 41,810,041
and
-1 x -41,810,041 = 41,810,041
Notice both answers equal 41,810,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,810,041 and divide it by 2:
41,810,041 ÷ 2 = 20,905,020.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,905,020.5 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 | 41,810,041 | |
| -1 | -41,810,041 |
Now, we try dividing 41,810,041 by 3:
41,810,041 ÷ 3 = 13,936,680.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,936,680.3333 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 | 41,810,041 | |
| -1 | -41,810,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,810,041 ÷ 4 = 10,452,510.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,452,510.25 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 | 41,810,041 | |
| -1 | 41,810,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 31 | 91 | 217 | 403 | 2,821 | 14,821 | 103,747 | 192,673 | 459,451 | 1,348,711 | 3,216,157 | 5,972,863 | 41,810,041 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -31 | -91 | -217 | -403 | -2,821 | -14,821 | -103,747 | -192,673 | -459,451 | -1,348,711 | -3,216,157 | -5,972,863 | -41,810,041 |
