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 17,793,335, 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 | 17,793,335 | |
| -1 | -17,793,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,793,335.
Example:
1 x 17,793,335 = 17,793,335
and
-1 x -17,793,335 = 17,793,335
Notice both answers equal 17,793,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,793,335 and divide it by 2:
17,793,335 ÷ 2 = 8,896,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,896,667.5 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 | 17,793,335 | |
| -1 | -17,793,335 |
Now, we try dividing 17,793,335 by 3:
17,793,335 ÷ 3 = 5,931,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,931,111.6667 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 | 17,793,335 | |
| -1 | -17,793,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,793,335 ÷ 4 = 4,448,333.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,448,333.75 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 | 17,793,335 | |
| -1 | 17,793,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 127 | 635 | 889 | 4,003 | 4,445 | 20,015 | 28,021 | 140,105 | 508,381 | 2,541,905 | 3,558,667 | 17,793,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -127 | -635 | -889 | -4,003 | -4,445 | -20,015 | -28,021 | -140,105 | -508,381 | -2,541,905 | -3,558,667 | -17,793,335 |
