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 17,333,743, 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 | 17,333,743 | |
| -1 | -17,333,743 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,333,743.
Example:
1 x 17,333,743 = 17,333,743
and
-1 x -17,333,743 = 17,333,743
Notice both answers equal 17,333,743
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,333,743 and divide it by 2:
17,333,743 ÷ 2 = 8,666,871.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,666,871.5 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 | 17,333,743 | |
| -1 | -17,333,743 |
Now, we try dividing 17,333,743 by 3:
17,333,743 ÷ 3 = 5,777,914.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,777,914.3333 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 | 17,333,743 | |
| -1 | -17,333,743 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,333,743 ÷ 4 = 4,333,435.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,333,435.75 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 | 17,333,743 | |
| -1 | 17,333,743 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 151 | 161 | 217 | 529 | 713 | 1,057 | 3,473 | 3,703 | 4,681 | 4,991 | 16,399 | 24,311 | 32,767 | 79,879 | 107,663 | 114,793 | 559,153 | 753,641 | 2,476,249 | 17,333,743 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -151 | -161 | -217 | -529 | -713 | -1,057 | -3,473 | -3,703 | -4,681 | -4,991 | -16,399 | -24,311 | -32,767 | -79,879 | -107,663 | -114,793 | -559,153 | -753,641 | -2,476,249 | -17,333,743 |
