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 17,886,649, 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 | 17,886,649 | |
| -1 | -17,886,649 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,886,649.
Example:
1 x 17,886,649 = 17,886,649
and
-1 x -17,886,649 = 17,886,649
Notice both answers equal 17,886,649
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,886,649 and divide it by 2:
17,886,649 ÷ 2 = 8,943,324.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,943,324.5 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 | 17,886,649 | |
| -1 | -17,886,649 |
Now, we try dividing 17,886,649 by 3:
17,886,649 ÷ 3 = 5,962,216.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,962,216.3333 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 | 17,886,649 | |
| -1 | -17,886,649 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,886,649 ÷ 4 = 4,471,662.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,471,662.25 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 | 17,886,649 | |
| -1 | 17,886,649 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 47 | 319 | 517 | 1,193 | 1,363 | 13,123 | 14,993 | 34,597 | 56,071 | 380,567 | 616,781 | 1,626,059 | 17,886,649 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -47 | -319 | -517 | -1,193 | -1,363 | -13,123 | -14,993 | -34,597 | -56,071 | -380,567 | -616,781 | -1,626,059 | -17,886,649 |
