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 15,570,895, 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 | 15,570,895 | |
| -1 | -15,570,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,570,895.
Example:
1 x 15,570,895 = 15,570,895
and
-1 x -15,570,895 = 15,570,895
Notice both answers equal 15,570,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,570,895 and divide it by 2:
15,570,895 ÷ 2 = 7,785,447.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,785,447.5 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 | 15,570,895 | |
| -1 | -15,570,895 |
Now, we try dividing 15,570,895 by 3:
15,570,895 ÷ 3 = 5,190,298.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,190,298.3333 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 | 15,570,895 | |
| -1 | -15,570,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,570,895 ÷ 4 = 3,892,723.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,892,723.75 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 | 15,570,895 | |
| -1 | 15,570,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 37 | 85 | 185 | 629 | 3,145 | 4,951 | 24,755 | 84,167 | 183,187 | 420,835 | 915,935 | 3,114,179 | 15,570,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -37 | -85 | -185 | -629 | -3,145 | -4,951 | -24,755 | -84,167 | -183,187 | -420,835 | -915,935 | -3,114,179 | -15,570,895 |
