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 42,725,075, 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 | 42,725,075 | |
| -1 | -42,725,075 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 42,725,075.
Example:
1 x 42,725,075 = 42,725,075
and
-1 x -42,725,075 = 42,725,075
Notice both answers equal 42,725,075
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 42,725,075 and divide it by 2:
42,725,075 ÷ 2 = 21,362,537.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,362,537.5 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 | 42,725,075 | |
| -1 | -42,725,075 |
Now, we try dividing 42,725,075 by 3:
42,725,075 ÷ 3 = 14,241,691.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,241,691.6667 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 | 42,725,075 | |
| -1 | -42,725,075 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
42,725,075 ÷ 4 = 10,681,268.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,681,268.75 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 | 42,725,075 | |
| -1 | 42,725,075 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 41 | 73 | 205 | 365 | 571 | 1,025 | 1,825 | 2,855 | 2,993 | 14,275 | 14,965 | 23,411 | 41,683 | 74,825 | 117,055 | 208,415 | 585,275 | 1,042,075 | 1,709,003 | 8,545,015 | 42,725,075 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -41 | -73 | -205 | -365 | -571 | -1,025 | -1,825 | -2,855 | -2,993 | -14,275 | -14,965 | -23,411 | -41,683 | -74,825 | -117,055 | -208,415 | -585,275 | -1,042,075 | -1,709,003 | -8,545,015 | -42,725,075 |
