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 16,525,003, 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 | 16,525,003 | |
| -1 | -16,525,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,525,003.
Example:
1 x 16,525,003 = 16,525,003
and
-1 x -16,525,003 = 16,525,003
Notice both answers equal 16,525,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,525,003 and divide it by 2:
16,525,003 ÷ 2 = 8,262,501.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,262,501.5 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 | 16,525,003 | |
| -1 | -16,525,003 |
Now, we try dividing 16,525,003 by 3:
16,525,003 ÷ 3 = 5,508,334.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,508,334.3333 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 | 16,525,003 | |
| -1 | -16,525,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,525,003 ÷ 4 = 4,131,250.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,131,250.75 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 | 16,525,003 | |
| -1 | 16,525,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 19 | 187 | 209 | 323 | 3,553 | 4,651 | 51,161 | 79,067 | 88,369 | 869,737 | 972,059 | 1,502,273 | 16,525,003 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -19 | -187 | -209 | -323 | -3,553 | -4,651 | -51,161 | -79,067 | -88,369 | -869,737 | -972,059 | -1,502,273 | -16,525,003 |
