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 16,002,883, 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 | 16,002,883 | |
| -1 | -16,002,883 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,002,883.
Example:
1 x 16,002,883 = 16,002,883
and
-1 x -16,002,883 = 16,002,883
Notice both answers equal 16,002,883
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,002,883 and divide it by 2:
16,002,883 ÷ 2 = 8,001,441.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,001,441.5 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 | 16,002,883 | |
| -1 | -16,002,883 |
Now, we try dividing 16,002,883 by 3:
16,002,883 ÷ 3 = 5,334,294.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,334,294.3333 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 | 16,002,883 | |
| -1 | -16,002,883 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,002,883 ÷ 4 = 4,000,720.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,000,720.75 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 | 16,002,883 | |
| -1 | 16,002,883 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 67 | 247 | 871 | 967 | 1,273 | 12,571 | 16,549 | 18,373 | 64,789 | 238,849 | 842,257 | 1,230,991 | 16,002,883 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -67 | -247 | -871 | -967 | -1,273 | -12,571 | -16,549 | -18,373 | -64,789 | -238,849 | -842,257 | -1,230,991 | -16,002,883 |
