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 17,534,671, 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 | 17,534,671 | |
| -1 | -17,534,671 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,534,671.
Example:
1 x 17,534,671 = 17,534,671
and
-1 x -17,534,671 = 17,534,671
Notice both answers equal 17,534,671
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,534,671 and divide it by 2:
17,534,671 ÷ 2 = 8,767,335.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,767,335.5 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 | 17,534,671 | |
| -1 | -17,534,671 |
Now, we try dividing 17,534,671 by 3:
17,534,671 ÷ 3 = 5,844,890.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,844,890.3333 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 | 17,534,671 | |
| -1 | -17,534,671 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,534,671 ÷ 4 = 4,383,667.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,383,667.75 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 | 17,534,671 | |
| -1 | 17,534,671 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 77 | 161 | 253 | 1,771 | 9,901 | 69,307 | 108,911 | 227,723 | 762,377 | 1,594,061 | 2,504,953 | 17,534,671 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -77 | -161 | -253 | -1,771 | -9,901 | -69,307 | -108,911 | -227,723 | -762,377 | -1,594,061 | -2,504,953 | -17,534,671 |
