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 17,223,547, 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 | 17,223,547 | |
| -1 | -17,223,547 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,223,547.
Example:
1 x 17,223,547 = 17,223,547
and
-1 x -17,223,547 = 17,223,547
Notice both answers equal 17,223,547
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,223,547 and divide it by 2:
17,223,547 ÷ 2 = 8,611,773.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,611,773.5 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 | 17,223,547 | |
| -1 | -17,223,547 |
Now, we try dividing 17,223,547 by 3:
17,223,547 ÷ 3 = 5,741,182.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,741,182.3333 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 | 17,223,547 | |
| -1 | -17,223,547 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,223,547 ÷ 4 = 4,305,886.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,305,886.75 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 | 17,223,547 | |
| -1 | 17,223,547 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 73 | 89 | 241 | 803 | 979 | 2,651 | 6,497 | 17,593 | 21,449 | 71,467 | 193,523 | 235,939 | 1,565,777 | 17,223,547 |
| -1 | -11 | -73 | -89 | -241 | -803 | -979 | -2,651 | -6,497 | -17,593 | -21,449 | -71,467 | -193,523 | -235,939 | -1,565,777 | -17,223,547 |
