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 16,602,635, 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 | 16,602,635 | |
| -1 | -16,602,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,602,635.
Example:
1 x 16,602,635 = 16,602,635
and
-1 x -16,602,635 = 16,602,635
Notice both answers equal 16,602,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,602,635 and divide it by 2:
16,602,635 ÷ 2 = 8,301,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,301,317.5 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 | 16,602,635 | |
| -1 | -16,602,635 |
Now, we try dividing 16,602,635 by 3:
16,602,635 ÷ 3 = 5,534,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,534,211.6667 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 | 16,602,635 | |
| -1 | -16,602,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,602,635 ÷ 4 = 4,150,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,150,658.75 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 | 16,602,635 | |
| -1 | 16,602,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 523 | 907 | 2,615 | 3,661 | 4,535 | 6,349 | 18,305 | 31,745 | 474,361 | 2,371,805 | 3,320,527 | 16,602,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -523 | -907 | -2,615 | -3,661 | -4,535 | -6,349 | -18,305 | -31,745 | -474,361 | -2,371,805 | -3,320,527 | -16,602,635 |
