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 17,333,329, 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 | 17,333,329 | |
| -1 | -17,333,329 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,333,329.
Example:
1 x 17,333,329 = 17,333,329
and
-1 x -17,333,329 = 17,333,329
Notice both answers equal 17,333,329
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,333,329 and divide it by 2:
17,333,329 ÷ 2 = 8,666,664.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,666,664.5 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 | 17,333,329 | |
| -1 | -17,333,329 |
Now, we try dividing 17,333,329 by 3:
17,333,329 ÷ 3 = 5,777,776.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,777,776.3333 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 | 17,333,329 | |
| -1 | -17,333,329 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,333,329 ÷ 4 = 4,333,332.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,333,332.25 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 | 17,333,329 | |
| -1 | 17,333,329 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 29 | 299 | 377 | 667 | 1,999 | 8,671 | 25,987 | 45,977 | 57,971 | 597,701 | 753,623 | 1,333,333 | 17,333,329 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -29 | -299 | -377 | -667 | -1,999 | -8,671 | -25,987 | -45,977 | -57,971 | -597,701 | -753,623 | -1,333,333 | -17,333,329 |
