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 16,941,095, 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 | 16,941,095 | |
| -1 | -16,941,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,941,095.
Example:
1 x 16,941,095 = 16,941,095
and
-1 x -16,941,095 = 16,941,095
Notice both answers equal 16,941,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,941,095 and divide it by 2:
16,941,095 ÷ 2 = 8,470,547.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,470,547.5 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 | 16,941,095 | |
| -1 | -16,941,095 |
Now, we try dividing 16,941,095 by 3:
16,941,095 ÷ 3 = 5,647,031.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,647,031.6667 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 | 16,941,095 | |
| -1 | -16,941,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,941,095 ÷ 4 = 4,235,273.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,235,273.75 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 | 16,941,095 | |
| -1 | 16,941,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 241 | 827 | 1,205 | 4,097 | 4,135 | 14,059 | 20,485 | 70,295 | 199,307 | 996,535 | 3,388,219 | 16,941,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -241 | -827 | -1,205 | -4,097 | -4,135 | -14,059 | -20,485 | -70,295 | -199,307 | -996,535 | -3,388,219 | -16,941,095 |
