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 17,195,633, 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 | 17,195,633 | |
| -1 | -17,195,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,195,633.
Example:
1 x 17,195,633 = 17,195,633
and
-1 x -17,195,633 = 17,195,633
Notice both answers equal 17,195,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,195,633 and divide it by 2:
17,195,633 ÷ 2 = 8,597,816.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,597,816.5 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 | 17,195,633 | |
| -1 | -17,195,633 |
Now, we try dividing 17,195,633 by 3:
17,195,633 ÷ 3 = 5,731,877.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,731,877.6667 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 | 17,195,633 | |
| -1 | -17,195,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,195,633 ÷ 4 = 4,298,908.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,298,908.25 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 | 17,195,633 | |
| -1 | 17,195,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 233 | 811 | 1,631 | 3,029 | 5,677 | 10,543 | 21,203 | 73,801 | 188,963 | 1,322,741 | 2,456,519 | 17,195,633 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -233 | -811 | -1,631 | -3,029 | -5,677 | -10,543 | -21,203 | -73,801 | -188,963 | -1,322,741 | -2,456,519 | -17,195,633 |
