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 17,050,201, 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 | 17,050,201 | |
| -1 | -17,050,201 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,050,201.
Example:
1 x 17,050,201 = 17,050,201
and
-1 x -17,050,201 = 17,050,201
Notice both answers equal 17,050,201
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,050,201 and divide it by 2:
17,050,201 ÷ 2 = 8,525,100.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,525,100.5 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 | 17,050,201 | |
| -1 | -17,050,201 |
Now, we try dividing 17,050,201 by 3:
17,050,201 ÷ 3 = 5,683,400.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,683,400.3333 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 | 17,050,201 | |
| -1 | -17,050,201 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,050,201 ÷ 4 = 4,262,550.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,262,550.25 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 | 17,050,201 | |
| -1 | 17,050,201 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 19 | 119 | 133 | 323 | 2,261 | 7,541 | 52,787 | 128,197 | 143,279 | 897,379 | 1,002,953 | 2,435,743 | 17,050,201 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -19 | -119 | -133 | -323 | -2,261 | -7,541 | -52,787 | -128,197 | -143,279 | -897,379 | -1,002,953 | -2,435,743 | -17,050,201 |
