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 42,235,325, 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 | 42,235,325 | |
| -1 | -42,235,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 42,235,325.
Example:
1 x 42,235,325 = 42,235,325
and
-1 x -42,235,325 = 42,235,325
Notice both answers equal 42,235,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 42,235,325 and divide it by 2:
42,235,325 ÷ 2 = 21,117,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,117,662.5 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 | 42,235,325 | |
| -1 | -42,235,325 |
Now, we try dividing 42,235,325 by 3:
42,235,325 ÷ 3 = 14,078,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,078,441.6667 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 | 42,235,325 | |
| -1 | -42,235,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
42,235,325 ÷ 4 = 10,558,831.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,558,831.25 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 | 42,235,325 | |
| -1 | 42,235,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 275 | 383 | 401 | 1,915 | 2,005 | 4,213 | 4,411 | 9,575 | 10,025 | 21,065 | 22,055 | 105,325 | 110,275 | 153,583 | 767,915 | 1,689,413 | 3,839,575 | 8,447,065 | 42,235,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -275 | -383 | -401 | -1,915 | -2,005 | -4,213 | -4,411 | -9,575 | -10,025 | -21,065 | -22,055 | -105,325 | -110,275 | -153,583 | -767,915 | -1,689,413 | -3,839,575 | -8,447,065 | -42,235,325 |
