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 17,310,767, 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 | 17,310,767 | |
| -1 | -17,310,767 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,310,767.
Example:
1 x 17,310,767 = 17,310,767
and
-1 x -17,310,767 = 17,310,767
Notice both answers equal 17,310,767
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,310,767 and divide it by 2:
17,310,767 ÷ 2 = 8,655,383.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,655,383.5 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 | 17,310,767 | |
| -1 | -17,310,767 |
Now, we try dividing 17,310,767 by 3:
17,310,767 ÷ 3 = 5,770,255.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,770,255.6667 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 | 17,310,767 | |
| -1 | -17,310,767 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,310,767 ÷ 4 = 4,327,691.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,327,691.75 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 | 17,310,767 | |
| -1 | 17,310,767 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 89 | 353 | 551 | 1,691 | 2,581 | 6,707 | 10,237 | 31,417 | 49,039 | 194,503 | 596,923 | 911,093 | 17,310,767 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -89 | -353 | -551 | -1,691 | -2,581 | -6,707 | -10,237 | -31,417 | -49,039 | -194,503 | -596,923 | -911,093 | -17,310,767 |
