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 17,706,733, 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 | 17,706,733 | |
| -1 | -17,706,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,706,733.
Example:
1 x 17,706,733 = 17,706,733
and
-1 x -17,706,733 = 17,706,733
Notice both answers equal 17,706,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,706,733 and divide it by 2:
17,706,733 ÷ 2 = 8,853,366.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,853,366.5 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 | 17,706,733 | |
| -1 | -17,706,733 |
Now, we try dividing 17,706,733 by 3:
17,706,733 ÷ 3 = 5,902,244.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,902,244.3333 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 | 17,706,733 | |
| -1 | -17,706,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,706,733 ÷ 4 = 4,426,683.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,426,683.25 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 | 17,706,733 | |
| -1 | 17,706,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 47 | 319 | 517 | 1,181 | 1,363 | 12,991 | 14,993 | 34,249 | 55,507 | 376,739 | 610,577 | 1,609,703 | 17,706,733 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -47 | -319 | -517 | -1,181 | -1,363 | -12,991 | -14,993 | -34,249 | -55,507 | -376,739 | -610,577 | -1,609,703 | -17,706,733 |
