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 16,366,121, 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 | 16,366,121 | |
| -1 | -16,366,121 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,366,121.
Example:
1 x 16,366,121 = 16,366,121
and
-1 x -16,366,121 = 16,366,121
Notice both answers equal 16,366,121
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,366,121 and divide it by 2:
16,366,121 ÷ 2 = 8,183,060.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,183,060.5 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 | 16,366,121 | |
| -1 | -16,366,121 |
Now, we try dividing 16,366,121 by 3:
16,366,121 ÷ 3 = 5,455,373.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,455,373.6667 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 | 16,366,121 | |
| -1 | -16,366,121 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,366,121 ÷ 4 = 4,091,530.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,091,530.25 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 | 16,366,121 | |
| -1 | 16,366,121 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 89 | 373 | 493 | 1,513 | 2,581 | 6,341 | 10,817 | 33,197 | 43,877 | 183,889 | 564,349 | 962,713 | 16,366,121 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -89 | -373 | -493 | -1,513 | -2,581 | -6,341 | -10,817 | -33,197 | -43,877 | -183,889 | -564,349 | -962,713 | -16,366,121 |
