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 16,695,635, 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 | 16,695,635 | |
| -1 | -16,695,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,695,635.
Example:
1 x 16,695,635 = 16,695,635
and
-1 x -16,695,635 = 16,695,635
Notice both answers equal 16,695,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,695,635 and divide it by 2:
16,695,635 ÷ 2 = 8,347,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,347,817.5 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 | 16,695,635 | |
| -1 | -16,695,635 |
Now, we try dividing 16,695,635 by 3:
16,695,635 ÷ 3 = 5,565,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,565,211.6667 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 | 16,695,635 | |
| -1 | -16,695,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,695,635 ÷ 4 = 4,173,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,173,908.75 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 | 16,695,635 | |
| -1 | 16,695,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 401 | 757 | 2,005 | 3,785 | 4,411 | 8,327 | 22,055 | 41,635 | 303,557 | 1,517,785 | 3,339,127 | 16,695,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -401 | -757 | -2,005 | -3,785 | -4,411 | -8,327 | -22,055 | -41,635 | -303,557 | -1,517,785 | -3,339,127 | -16,695,635 |
