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 17,333,195, 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 | 17,333,195 | |
| -1 | -17,333,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,333,195.
Example:
1 x 17,333,195 = 17,333,195
and
-1 x -17,333,195 = 17,333,195
Notice both answers equal 17,333,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,333,195 and divide it by 2:
17,333,195 ÷ 2 = 8,666,597.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,666,597.5 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 | 17,333,195 | |
| -1 | -17,333,195 |
Now, we try dividing 17,333,195 by 3:
17,333,195 ÷ 3 = 5,777,731.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,777,731.6667 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 | 17,333,195 | |
| -1 | -17,333,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,333,195 ÷ 4 = 4,333,298.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,333,298.75 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 | 17,333,195 | |
| -1 | 17,333,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 89 | 445 | 979 | 3,541 | 4,895 | 17,705 | 38,951 | 194,755 | 315,149 | 1,575,745 | 3,466,639 | 17,333,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -89 | -445 | -979 | -3,541 | -4,895 | -17,705 | -38,951 | -194,755 | -315,149 | -1,575,745 | -3,466,639 | -17,333,195 |
