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 16,764,583, 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 | 16,764,583 | |
| -1 | -16,764,583 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,764,583.
Example:
1 x 16,764,583 = 16,764,583
and
-1 x -16,764,583 = 16,764,583
Notice both answers equal 16,764,583
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,764,583 and divide it by 2:
16,764,583 ÷ 2 = 8,382,291.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,382,291.5 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 | 16,764,583 | |
| -1 | -16,764,583 |
Now, we try dividing 16,764,583 by 3:
16,764,583 ÷ 3 = 5,588,194.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,588,194.3333 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 | 16,764,583 | |
| -1 | -16,764,583 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,764,583 ÷ 4 = 4,191,145.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,191,145.75 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 | 16,764,583 | |
| -1 | 16,764,583 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 211 | 233 | 341 | 2,321 | 2,563 | 6,541 | 7,223 | 49,163 | 71,951 | 79,453 | 540,793 | 1,524,053 | 16,764,583 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -211 | -233 | -341 | -2,321 | -2,563 | -6,541 | -7,223 | -49,163 | -71,951 | -79,453 | -540,793 | -1,524,053 | -16,764,583 |
