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 16,626,731, 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 | 16,626,731 | |
| -1 | -16,626,731 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,626,731.
Example:
1 x 16,626,731 = 16,626,731
and
-1 x -16,626,731 = 16,626,731
Notice both answers equal 16,626,731
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,626,731 and divide it by 2:
16,626,731 ÷ 2 = 8,313,365.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,313,365.5 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 | 16,626,731 | |
| -1 | -16,626,731 |
Now, we try dividing 16,626,731 by 3:
16,626,731 ÷ 3 = 5,542,243.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,542,243.6667 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 | 16,626,731 | |
| -1 | -16,626,731 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,626,731 ÷ 4 = 4,156,682.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,156,682.75 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 | 16,626,731 | |
| -1 | 16,626,731 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 59 | 121 | 137 | 187 | 649 | 1,003 | 1,507 | 2,057 | 2,329 | 7,139 | 8,083 | 11,033 | 16,577 | 25,619 | 88,913 | 121,363 | 137,411 | 281,809 | 978,043 | 1,511,521 | 16,626,731 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -59 | -121 | -137 | -187 | -649 | -1,003 | -1,507 | -2,057 | -2,329 | -7,139 | -8,083 | -11,033 | -16,577 | -25,619 | -88,913 | -121,363 | -137,411 | -281,809 | -978,043 | -1,511,521 | -16,626,731 |
