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 17,473,313, 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 | 17,473,313 | |
| -1 | -17,473,313 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,473,313.
Example:
1 x 17,473,313 = 17,473,313
and
-1 x -17,473,313 = 17,473,313
Notice both answers equal 17,473,313
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,473,313 and divide it by 2:
17,473,313 ÷ 2 = 8,736,656.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,736,656.5 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 | 17,473,313 | |
| -1 | -17,473,313 |
Now, we try dividing 17,473,313 by 3:
17,473,313 ÷ 3 = 5,824,437.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,824,437.6667 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 | 17,473,313 | |
| -1 | -17,473,313 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,473,313 ÷ 4 = 4,368,328.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,368,328.25 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 | 17,473,313 | |
| -1 | 17,473,313 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 71 | 143 | 781 | 923 | 1,721 | 10,153 | 18,931 | 22,373 | 122,191 | 246,103 | 1,344,101 | 1,588,483 | 17,473,313 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -71 | -143 | -781 | -923 | -1,721 | -10,153 | -18,931 | -22,373 | -122,191 | -246,103 | -1,344,101 | -1,588,483 | -17,473,313 |
