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 16,354,357, 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 | 16,354,357 | |
| -1 | -16,354,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,354,357.
Example:
1 x 16,354,357 = 16,354,357
and
-1 x -16,354,357 = 16,354,357
Notice both answers equal 16,354,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,354,357 and divide it by 2:
16,354,357 ÷ 2 = 8,177,178.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,177,178.5 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 | 16,354,357 | |
| -1 | -16,354,357 |
Now, we try dividing 16,354,357 by 3:
16,354,357 ÷ 3 = 5,451,452.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,451,452.3333 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 | 16,354,357 | |
| -1 | -16,354,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,354,357 ÷ 4 = 4,088,589.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,088,589.25 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 | 16,354,357 | |
| -1 | 16,354,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 151 | 277 | 391 | 2,567 | 3,473 | 4,709 | 6,371 | 41,827 | 59,041 | 108,307 | 711,059 | 962,021 | 16,354,357 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -151 | -277 | -391 | -2,567 | -3,473 | -4,709 | -6,371 | -41,827 | -59,041 | -108,307 | -711,059 | -962,021 | -16,354,357 |
