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 17,077,109, 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 | 17,077,109 | |
| -1 | -17,077,109 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,077,109.
Example:
1 x 17,077,109 = 17,077,109
and
-1 x -17,077,109 = 17,077,109
Notice both answers equal 17,077,109
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,077,109 and divide it by 2:
17,077,109 ÷ 2 = 8,538,554.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,538,554.5 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 | 17,077,109 | |
| -1 | -17,077,109 |
Now, we try dividing 17,077,109 by 3:
17,077,109 ÷ 3 = 5,692,369.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,692,369.6667 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 | 17,077,109 | |
| -1 | -17,077,109 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,077,109 ÷ 4 = 4,269,277.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,269,277.25 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 | 17,077,109 | |
| -1 | 17,077,109 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 73 | 161 | 511 | 1,453 | 1,679 | 10,171 | 11,753 | 33,419 | 106,069 | 233,933 | 742,483 | 2,439,587 | 17,077,109 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -73 | -161 | -511 | -1,453 | -1,679 | -10,171 | -11,753 | -33,419 | -106,069 | -233,933 | -742,483 | -2,439,587 | -17,077,109 |
