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 16,704,233, 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 | 16,704,233 | |
| -1 | -16,704,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,704,233.
Example:
1 x 16,704,233 = 16,704,233
and
-1 x -16,704,233 = 16,704,233
Notice both answers equal 16,704,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,704,233 and divide it by 2:
16,704,233 ÷ 2 = 8,352,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,352,116.5 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 | 16,704,233 | |
| -1 | -16,704,233 |
Now, we try dividing 16,704,233 by 3:
16,704,233 ÷ 3 = 5,568,077.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,568,077.6667 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 | 16,704,233 | |
| -1 | -16,704,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,704,233 ÷ 4 = 4,176,058.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,176,058.25 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 | 16,704,233 | |
| -1 | 16,704,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 347 | 529 | 2,093 | 2,429 | 3,703 | 4,511 | 6,877 | 7,981 | 31,577 | 48,139 | 55,867 | 103,753 | 183,563 | 726,271 | 1,284,941 | 2,386,319 | 16,704,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -347 | -529 | -2,093 | -2,429 | -3,703 | -4,511 | -6,877 | -7,981 | -31,577 | -48,139 | -55,867 | -103,753 | -183,563 | -726,271 | -1,284,941 | -2,386,319 | -16,704,233 |
