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 16,404,035, 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 | 16,404,035 | |
| -1 | -16,404,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,404,035.
Example:
1 x 16,404,035 = 16,404,035
and
-1 x -16,404,035 = 16,404,035
Notice both answers equal 16,404,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,404,035 and divide it by 2:
16,404,035 ÷ 2 = 8,202,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,202,017.5 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 | 16,404,035 | |
| -1 | -16,404,035 |
Now, we try dividing 16,404,035 by 3:
16,404,035 ÷ 3 = 5,468,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,468,011.6667 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 | 16,404,035 | |
| -1 | -16,404,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,404,035 ÷ 4 = 4,101,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,101,008.75 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 | 16,404,035 | |
| -1 | 16,404,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 89 | 191 | 193 | 445 | 955 | 965 | 16,999 | 17,177 | 36,863 | 84,995 | 85,885 | 184,315 | 3,280,807 | 16,404,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -89 | -191 | -193 | -445 | -955 | -965 | -16,999 | -17,177 | -36,863 | -84,995 | -85,885 | -184,315 | -3,280,807 | -16,404,035 |
