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 17,443,877, 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 | 17,443,877 | |
| -1 | -17,443,877 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,443,877.
Example:
1 x 17,443,877 = 17,443,877
and
-1 x -17,443,877 = 17,443,877
Notice both answers equal 17,443,877
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,443,877 and divide it by 2:
17,443,877 ÷ 2 = 8,721,938.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,721,938.5 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 | 17,443,877 | |
| -1 | -17,443,877 |
Now, we try dividing 17,443,877 by 3:
17,443,877 ÷ 3 = 5,814,625.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,814,625.6667 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 | 17,443,877 | |
| -1 | -17,443,877 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,443,877 ÷ 4 = 4,360,969.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,360,969.25 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 | 17,443,877 | |
| -1 | 17,443,877 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 149 | 319 | 367 | 1,639 | 4,037 | 4,321 | 10,643 | 47,531 | 54,683 | 117,073 | 601,513 | 1,585,807 | 17,443,877 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -149 | -319 | -367 | -1,639 | -4,037 | -4,321 | -10,643 | -47,531 | -54,683 | -117,073 | -601,513 | -1,585,807 | -17,443,877 |
