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 17,636,605, 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 | 17,636,605 | |
| -1 | -17,636,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,636,605.
Example:
1 x 17,636,605 = 17,636,605
and
-1 x -17,636,605 = 17,636,605
Notice both answers equal 17,636,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,636,605 and divide it by 2:
17,636,605 ÷ 2 = 8,818,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,818,302.5 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 | 17,636,605 | |
| -1 | -17,636,605 |
Now, we try dividing 17,636,605 by 3:
17,636,605 ÷ 3 = 5,878,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,878,868.3333 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 | 17,636,605 | |
| -1 | -17,636,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,636,605 ÷ 4 = 4,409,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,409,151.25 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 | 17,636,605 | |
| -1 | 17,636,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 13,619 | 68,095 | 95,333 | 476,665 | 503,903 | 2,519,515 | 3,527,321 | 17,636,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -13,619 | -68,095 | -95,333 | -476,665 | -503,903 | -2,519,515 | -3,527,321 | -17,636,605 |
