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 16,955,059, 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 | 16,955,059 | |
| -1 | -16,955,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,955,059.
Example:
1 x 16,955,059 = 16,955,059
and
-1 x -16,955,059 = 16,955,059
Notice both answers equal 16,955,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,955,059 and divide it by 2:
16,955,059 ÷ 2 = 8,477,529.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,477,529.5 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 | 16,955,059 | |
| -1 | -16,955,059 |
Now, we try dividing 16,955,059 by 3:
16,955,059 ÷ 3 = 5,651,686.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,651,686.3333 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 | 16,955,059 | |
| -1 | -16,955,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,955,059 ÷ 4 = 4,238,764.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,238,764.75 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 | 16,955,059 | |
| -1 | 16,955,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 79 | 109 | 179 | 869 | 1,199 | 1,969 | 8,611 | 14,141 | 19,511 | 94,721 | 155,551 | 214,621 | 1,541,369 | 16,955,059 |
| -1 | -11 | -79 | -109 | -179 | -869 | -1,199 | -1,969 | -8,611 | -14,141 | -19,511 | -94,721 | -155,551 | -214,621 | -1,541,369 | -16,955,059 |
