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 17,943,335, 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 | 17,943,335 | |
| -1 | -17,943,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,943,335.
Example:
1 x 17,943,335 = 17,943,335
and
-1 x -17,943,335 = 17,943,335
Notice both answers equal 17,943,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,943,335 and divide it by 2:
17,943,335 ÷ 2 = 8,971,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,971,667.5 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 | 17,943,335 | |
| -1 | -17,943,335 |
Now, we try dividing 17,943,335 by 3:
17,943,335 ÷ 3 = 5,981,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,981,111.6667 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 | 17,943,335 | |
| -1 | -17,943,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,943,335 ÷ 4 = 4,485,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,485,833.75 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 | 17,943,335 | |
| -1 | 17,943,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 37 | 115 | 185 | 851 | 4,217 | 4,255 | 21,085 | 96,991 | 156,029 | 484,955 | 780,145 | 3,588,667 | 17,943,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -37 | -115 | -185 | -851 | -4,217 | -4,255 | -21,085 | -96,991 | -156,029 | -484,955 | -780,145 | -3,588,667 | -17,943,335 |
