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 17,284,325, 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 | 17,284,325 | |
| -1 | -17,284,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,284,325.
Example:
1 x 17,284,325 = 17,284,325
and
-1 x -17,284,325 = 17,284,325
Notice both answers equal 17,284,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,284,325 and divide it by 2:
17,284,325 ÷ 2 = 8,642,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,642,162.5 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 | 17,284,325 | |
| -1 | -17,284,325 |
Now, we try dividing 17,284,325 by 3:
17,284,325 ÷ 3 = 5,761,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,761,441.6667 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 | 17,284,325 | |
| -1 | -17,284,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,284,325 ÷ 4 = 4,321,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,321,081.25 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 | 17,284,325 | |
| -1 | 17,284,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 67 | 85 | 335 | 425 | 607 | 1,139 | 1,675 | 3,035 | 5,695 | 10,319 | 15,175 | 28,475 | 40,669 | 51,595 | 203,345 | 257,975 | 691,373 | 1,016,725 | 3,456,865 | 17,284,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -67 | -85 | -335 | -425 | -607 | -1,139 | -1,675 | -3,035 | -5,695 | -10,319 | -15,175 | -28,475 | -40,669 | -51,595 | -203,345 | -257,975 | -691,373 | -1,016,725 | -3,456,865 | -17,284,325 |
