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 17,335,255, 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 | 17,335,255 | |
| -1 | -17,335,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,335,255.
Example:
1 x 17,335,255 = 17,335,255
and
-1 x -17,335,255 = 17,335,255
Notice both answers equal 17,335,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,335,255 and divide it by 2:
17,335,255 ÷ 2 = 8,667,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,667,627.5 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 | 17,335,255 | |
| -1 | -17,335,255 |
Now, we try dividing 17,335,255 by 3:
17,335,255 ÷ 3 = 5,778,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,778,418.3333 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 | 17,335,255 | |
| -1 | -17,335,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,335,255 ÷ 4 = 4,333,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,333,813.75 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 | 17,335,255 | |
| -1 | 17,335,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 179 | 895 | 1,253 | 2,767 | 6,265 | 13,835 | 19,369 | 96,845 | 495,293 | 2,476,465 | 3,467,051 | 17,335,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -179 | -895 | -1,253 | -2,767 | -6,265 | -13,835 | -19,369 | -96,845 | -495,293 | -2,476,465 | -3,467,051 | -17,335,255 |
