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 42,301,325, 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 | 42,301,325 | |
| -1 | -42,301,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 42,301,325.
Example:
1 x 42,301,325 = 42,301,325
and
-1 x -42,301,325 = 42,301,325
Notice both answers equal 42,301,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 42,301,325 and divide it by 2:
42,301,325 ÷ 2 = 21,150,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,150,662.5 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 | 42,301,325 | |
| -1 | -42,301,325 |
Now, we try dividing 42,301,325 by 3:
42,301,325 ÷ 3 = 14,100,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,100,441.6667 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 | 42,301,325 | |
| -1 | -42,301,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
42,301,325 ÷ 4 = 10,575,331.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,575,331.25 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 | 42,301,325 | |
| -1 | 42,301,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 101 | 275 | 505 | 1,111 | 1,523 | 2,525 | 5,555 | 7,615 | 16,753 | 27,775 | 38,075 | 83,765 | 153,823 | 418,825 | 769,115 | 1,692,053 | 3,845,575 | 8,460,265 | 42,301,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -101 | -275 | -505 | -1,111 | -1,523 | -2,525 | -5,555 | -7,615 | -16,753 | -27,775 | -38,075 | -83,765 | -153,823 | -418,825 | -769,115 | -1,692,053 | -3,845,575 | -8,460,265 | -42,301,325 |
