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 17,103,097, 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 | 17,103,097 | |
| -1 | -17,103,097 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,103,097.
Example:
1 x 17,103,097 = 17,103,097
and
-1 x -17,103,097 = 17,103,097
Notice both answers equal 17,103,097
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,103,097 and divide it by 2:
17,103,097 ÷ 2 = 8,551,548.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,551,548.5 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 | 17,103,097 | |
| -1 | -17,103,097 |
Now, we try dividing 17,103,097 by 3:
17,103,097 ÷ 3 = 5,701,032.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,701,032.3333 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 | 17,103,097 | |
| -1 | -17,103,097 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,103,097 ÷ 4 = 4,275,774.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,275,774.25 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 | 17,103,097 | |
| -1 | 17,103,097 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 59 | 73 | 209 | 361 | 649 | 803 | 1,121 | 1,387 | 3,971 | 4,307 | 12,331 | 15,257 | 21,299 | 26,353 | 47,377 | 81,833 | 234,289 | 289,883 | 900,163 | 1,554,827 | 17,103,097 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -59 | -73 | -209 | -361 | -649 | -803 | -1,121 | -1,387 | -3,971 | -4,307 | -12,331 | -15,257 | -21,299 | -26,353 | -47,377 | -81,833 | -234,289 | -289,883 | -900,163 | -1,554,827 | -17,103,097 |
