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 17,530,445, 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 | 17,530,445 | |
| -1 | -17,530,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,530,445.
Example:
1 x 17,530,445 = 17,530,445
and
-1 x -17,530,445 = 17,530,445
Notice both answers equal 17,530,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,530,445 and divide it by 2:
17,530,445 ÷ 2 = 8,765,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,765,222.5 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 | 17,530,445 | |
| -1 | -17,530,445 |
Now, we try dividing 17,530,445 by 3:
17,530,445 ÷ 3 = 5,843,481.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,843,481.6667 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 | 17,530,445 | |
| -1 | -17,530,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,530,445 ÷ 4 = 4,382,611.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,382,611.25 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 | 17,530,445 | |
| -1 | 17,530,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 127 | 635 | 1,453 | 2,413 | 7,265 | 12,065 | 27,607 | 138,035 | 184,531 | 922,655 | 3,506,089 | 17,530,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -127 | -635 | -1,453 | -2,413 | -7,265 | -12,065 | -27,607 | -138,035 | -184,531 | -922,655 | -3,506,089 | -17,530,445 |
