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 17,258,441, 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 | 17,258,441 | |
| -1 | -17,258,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,258,441.
Example:
1 x 17,258,441 = 17,258,441
and
-1 x -17,258,441 = 17,258,441
Notice both answers equal 17,258,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,258,441 and divide it by 2:
17,258,441 ÷ 2 = 8,629,220.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,629,220.5 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 | 17,258,441 | |
| -1 | -17,258,441 |
Now, we try dividing 17,258,441 by 3:
17,258,441 ÷ 3 = 5,752,813.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,752,813.6667 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 | 17,258,441 | |
| -1 | -17,258,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,258,441 ÷ 4 = 4,314,610.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,314,610.25 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 | 17,258,441 | |
| -1 | 17,258,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 73 | 437 | 541 | 1,387 | 1,679 | 10,279 | 12,443 | 31,901 | 39,493 | 236,417 | 750,367 | 908,339 | 17,258,441 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -73 | -437 | -541 | -1,387 | -1,679 | -10,279 | -12,443 | -31,901 | -39,493 | -236,417 | -750,367 | -908,339 | -17,258,441 |
