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 17,032,367, 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 | 17,032,367 | |
| -1 | -17,032,367 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,032,367.
Example:
1 x 17,032,367 = 17,032,367
and
-1 x -17,032,367 = 17,032,367
Notice both answers equal 17,032,367
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,032,367 and divide it by 2:
17,032,367 ÷ 2 = 8,516,183.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,516,183.5 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 | 17,032,367 | |
| -1 | -17,032,367 |
Now, we try dividing 17,032,367 by 3:
17,032,367 ÷ 3 = 5,677,455.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,677,455.6667 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 | 17,032,367 | |
| -1 | -17,032,367 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,032,367 ÷ 4 = 4,258,091.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,258,091.75 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 | 17,032,367 | |
| -1 | 17,032,367 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 107 | 319 | 499 | 1,177 | 3,103 | 5,489 | 14,471 | 34,133 | 53,393 | 159,181 | 587,323 | 1,548,397 | 17,032,367 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -107 | -319 | -499 | -1,177 | -3,103 | -5,489 | -14,471 | -34,133 | -53,393 | -159,181 | -587,323 | -1,548,397 | -17,032,367 |
