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 17,133,701, 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 | 17,133,701 | |
| -1 | -17,133,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,133,701.
Example:
1 x 17,133,701 = 17,133,701
and
-1 x -17,133,701 = 17,133,701
Notice both answers equal 17,133,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,133,701 and divide it by 2:
17,133,701 ÷ 2 = 8,566,850.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,566,850.5 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 | 17,133,701 | |
| -1 | -17,133,701 |
Now, we try dividing 17,133,701 by 3:
17,133,701 ÷ 3 = 5,711,233.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,711,233.6667 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 | 17,133,701 | |
| -1 | -17,133,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,133,701 ÷ 4 = 4,283,425.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,283,425.25 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 | 17,133,701 | |
| -1 | 17,133,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 179 | 199 | 481 | 2,327 | 2,587 | 6,623 | 7,363 | 35,621 | 86,099 | 95,719 | 463,073 | 1,317,977 | 17,133,701 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -179 | -199 | -481 | -2,327 | -2,587 | -6,623 | -7,363 | -35,621 | -86,099 | -95,719 | -463,073 | -1,317,977 | -17,133,701 |
