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 16,747,295, 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 | 16,747,295 | |
| -1 | -16,747,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,747,295.
Example:
1 x 16,747,295 = 16,747,295
and
-1 x -16,747,295 = 16,747,295
Notice both answers equal 16,747,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,747,295 and divide it by 2:
16,747,295 ÷ 2 = 8,373,647.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,373,647.5 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 | 16,747,295 | |
| -1 | -16,747,295 |
Now, we try dividing 16,747,295 by 3:
16,747,295 ÷ 3 = 5,582,431.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,582,431.6667 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 | 16,747,295 | |
| -1 | -16,747,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,747,295 ÷ 4 = 4,186,823.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,186,823.75 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 | 16,747,295 | |
| -1 | 16,747,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 73 | 85 | 365 | 1,241 | 2,699 | 6,205 | 13,495 | 45,883 | 197,027 | 229,415 | 985,135 | 3,349,459 | 16,747,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -73 | -85 | -365 | -1,241 | -2,699 | -6,205 | -13,495 | -45,883 | -197,027 | -229,415 | -985,135 | -3,349,459 | -16,747,295 |
