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 17,537,741, 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 | 17,537,741 | |
| -1 | -17,537,741 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,537,741.
Example:
1 x 17,537,741 = 17,537,741
and
-1 x -17,537,741 = 17,537,741
Notice both answers equal 17,537,741
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,537,741 and divide it by 2:
17,537,741 ÷ 2 = 8,768,870.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,768,870.5 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 | 17,537,741 | |
| -1 | -17,537,741 |
Now, we try dividing 17,537,741 by 3:
17,537,741 ÷ 3 = 5,845,913.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,845,913.6667 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 | 17,537,741 | |
| -1 | -17,537,741 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,537,741 ÷ 4 = 4,384,435.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,384,435.25 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 | 17,537,741 | |
| -1 | 17,537,741 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 37 | 101 | 247 | 361 | 481 | 703 | 1,313 | 1,919 | 3,737 | 4,693 | 9,139 | 13,357 | 24,947 | 36,461 | 48,581 | 71,003 | 173,641 | 473,993 | 923,039 | 1,349,057 | 17,537,741 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -37 | -101 | -247 | -361 | -481 | -703 | -1,313 | -1,919 | -3,737 | -4,693 | -9,139 | -13,357 | -24,947 | -36,461 | -48,581 | -71,003 | -173,641 | -473,993 | -923,039 | -1,349,057 | -17,537,741 |
