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 17,829,035, 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 | 17,829,035 | |
| -1 | -17,829,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,829,035.
Example:
1 x 17,829,035 = 17,829,035
and
-1 x -17,829,035 = 17,829,035
Notice both answers equal 17,829,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,829,035 and divide it by 2:
17,829,035 ÷ 2 = 8,914,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,914,517.5 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 | 17,829,035 | |
| -1 | -17,829,035 |
Now, we try dividing 17,829,035 by 3:
17,829,035 ÷ 3 = 5,943,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,943,011.6667 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 | 17,829,035 | |
| -1 | -17,829,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,829,035 ÷ 4 = 4,457,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,457,258.75 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 | 17,829,035 | |
| -1 | 17,829,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 67 | 335 | 469 | 2,345 | 7,603 | 38,015 | 53,221 | 266,105 | 509,401 | 2,547,005 | 3,565,807 | 17,829,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -67 | -335 | -469 | -2,345 | -7,603 | -38,015 | -53,221 | -266,105 | -509,401 | -2,547,005 | -3,565,807 | -17,829,035 |
