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 17,612,765, 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 | 17,612,765 | |
| -1 | -17,612,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,612,765.
Example:
1 x 17,612,765 = 17,612,765
and
-1 x -17,612,765 = 17,612,765
Notice both answers equal 17,612,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,612,765 and divide it by 2:
17,612,765 ÷ 2 = 8,806,382.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,806,382.5 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 | 17,612,765 | |
| -1 | -17,612,765 |
Now, we try dividing 17,612,765 by 3:
17,612,765 ÷ 3 = 5,870,921.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,870,921.6667 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 | 17,612,765 | |
| -1 | -17,612,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,612,765 ÷ 4 = 4,403,191.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,403,191.25 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 | 17,612,765 | |
| -1 | 17,612,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 109 | 545 | 1,853 | 1,901 | 9,265 | 9,505 | 32,317 | 161,585 | 207,209 | 1,036,045 | 3,522,553 | 17,612,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -109 | -545 | -1,853 | -1,901 | -9,265 | -9,505 | -32,317 | -161,585 | -207,209 | -1,036,045 | -3,522,553 | -17,612,765 |
