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 41,949,235, 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 | 41,949,235 | |
| -1 | -41,949,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 41,949,235.
Example:
1 x 41,949,235 = 41,949,235
and
-1 x -41,949,235 = 41,949,235
Notice both answers equal 41,949,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 41,949,235 and divide it by 2:
41,949,235 ÷ 2 = 20,974,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 20,974,617.5 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 | 41,949,235 | |
| -1 | -41,949,235 |
Now, we try dividing 41,949,235 by 3:
41,949,235 ÷ 3 = 13,983,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,983,078.3333 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 | 41,949,235 | |
| -1 | -41,949,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
41,949,235 ÷ 4 = 10,487,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,487,308.75 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 | 41,949,235 | |
| -1 | 41,949,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 265 | 311 | 509 | 1,555 | 2,545 | 16,483 | 26,977 | 82,415 | 134,885 | 158,299 | 791,495 | 8,389,847 | 41,949,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -265 | -311 | -509 | -1,555 | -2,545 | -16,483 | -26,977 | -82,415 | -134,885 | -158,299 | -791,495 | -8,389,847 | -41,949,235 |
