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 17,252,165, 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 | 17,252,165 | |
| -1 | -17,252,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,252,165.
Example:
1 x 17,252,165 = 17,252,165
and
-1 x -17,252,165 = 17,252,165
Notice both answers equal 17,252,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,252,165 and divide it by 2:
17,252,165 ÷ 2 = 8,626,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,626,082.5 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 | 17,252,165 | |
| -1 | -17,252,165 |
Now, we try dividing 17,252,165 by 3:
17,252,165 ÷ 3 = 5,750,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,750,721.6667 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 | 17,252,165 | |
| -1 | -17,252,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,252,165 ÷ 4 = 4,313,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,313,041.25 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 | 17,252,165 | |
| -1 | 17,252,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 67 | 245 | 335 | 469 | 1,051 | 2,345 | 3,283 | 5,255 | 7,357 | 16,415 | 36,785 | 51,499 | 70,417 | 257,495 | 352,085 | 492,919 | 2,464,595 | 3,450,433 | 17,252,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -67 | -245 | -335 | -469 | -1,051 | -2,345 | -3,283 | -5,255 | -7,357 | -16,415 | -36,785 | -51,499 | -70,417 | -257,495 | -352,085 | -492,919 | -2,464,595 | -3,450,433 | -17,252,165 |
