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 16,718,905, 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 | 16,718,905 | |
| -1 | -16,718,905 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,718,905.
Example:
1 x 16,718,905 = 16,718,905
and
-1 x -16,718,905 = 16,718,905
Notice both answers equal 16,718,905
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,718,905 and divide it by 2:
16,718,905 ÷ 2 = 8,359,452.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,359,452.5 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 | 16,718,905 | |
| -1 | -16,718,905 |
Now, we try dividing 16,718,905 by 3:
16,718,905 ÷ 3 = 5,572,968.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,572,968.3333 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 | 16,718,905 | |
| -1 | -16,718,905 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,718,905 ÷ 4 = 4,179,726.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,179,726.25 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 | 16,718,905 | |
| -1 | 16,718,905 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 28,099 | 140,495 | 196,693 | 477,683 | 983,465 | 2,388,415 | 3,343,781 | 16,718,905 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -28,099 | -140,495 | -196,693 | -477,683 | -983,465 | -2,388,415 | -3,343,781 | -16,718,905 |
