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 17,851,393, 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 | 17,851,393 | |
| -1 | -17,851,393 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,851,393.
Example:
1 x 17,851,393 = 17,851,393
and
-1 x -17,851,393 = 17,851,393
Notice both answers equal 17,851,393
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,851,393 and divide it by 2:
17,851,393 ÷ 2 = 8,925,696.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,925,696.5 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 | 17,851,393 | |
| -1 | -17,851,393 |
Now, we try dividing 17,851,393 by 3:
17,851,393 ÷ 3 = 5,950,464.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,950,464.3333 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 | 17,851,393 | |
| -1 | -17,851,393 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,851,393 ÷ 4 = 4,462,848.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,462,848.25 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 | 17,851,393 | |
| -1 | 17,851,393 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 79 | 133 | 553 | 1,501 | 1,699 | 10,507 | 11,893 | 32,281 | 134,221 | 225,967 | 939,547 | 2,550,199 | 17,851,393 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -79 | -133 | -553 | -1,501 | -1,699 | -10,507 | -11,893 | -32,281 | -134,221 | -225,967 | -939,547 | -2,550,199 | -17,851,393 |
