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 16,055,633, 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 | 16,055,633 | |
| -1 | -16,055,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,055,633.
Example:
1 x 16,055,633 = 16,055,633
and
-1 x -16,055,633 = 16,055,633
Notice both answers equal 16,055,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,055,633 and divide it by 2:
16,055,633 ÷ 2 = 8,027,816.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,027,816.5 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 | 16,055,633 | |
| -1 | -16,055,633 |
Now, we try dividing 16,055,633 by 3:
16,055,633 ÷ 3 = 5,351,877.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,351,877.6667 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 | 16,055,633 | |
| -1 | -16,055,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,055,633 ÷ 4 = 4,013,908.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,013,908.25 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 | 16,055,633 | |
| -1 | 16,055,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 187 | 253 | 391 | 3,733 | 4,301 | 41,063 | 63,461 | 85,859 | 698,071 | 944,449 | 1,459,603 | 16,055,633 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -23 | -187 | -253 | -391 | -3,733 | -4,301 | -41,063 | -63,461 | -85,859 | -698,071 | -944,449 | -1,459,603 | -16,055,633 |
