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 16,941,103, 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 | 16,941,103 | |
| -1 | -16,941,103 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,941,103.
Example:
1 x 16,941,103 = 16,941,103
and
-1 x -16,941,103 = 16,941,103
Notice both answers equal 16,941,103
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,941,103 and divide it by 2:
16,941,103 ÷ 2 = 8,470,551.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,470,551.5 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 | 16,941,103 | |
| -1 | -16,941,103 |
Now, we try dividing 16,941,103 by 3:
16,941,103 ÷ 3 = 5,647,034.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,647,034.3333 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 | 16,941,103 | |
| -1 | -16,941,103 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,941,103 ÷ 4 = 4,235,275.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,235,275.75 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 | 16,941,103 | |
| -1 | 16,941,103 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 47 | 61 | 311 | 893 | 1,159 | 2,867 | 5,909 | 14,617 | 18,971 | 54,473 | 277,723 | 360,449 | 891,637 | 16,941,103 |
| -1 | -19 | -47 | -61 | -311 | -893 | -1,159 | -2,867 | -5,909 | -14,617 | -18,971 | -54,473 | -277,723 | -360,449 | -891,637 | -16,941,103 |
