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 18,223,099, 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 | 18,223,099 | |
| -1 | -18,223,099 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 18,223,099.
Example:
1 x 18,223,099 = 18,223,099
and
-1 x -18,223,099 = 18,223,099
Notice both answers equal 18,223,099
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 18,223,099 and divide it by 2:
18,223,099 ÷ 2 = 9,111,549.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 9,111,549.5 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 | 18,223,099 | |
| -1 | -18,223,099 |
Now, we try dividing 18,223,099 by 3:
18,223,099 ÷ 3 = 6,074,366.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 6,074,366.3333 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 | 18,223,099 | |
| -1 | -18,223,099 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
18,223,099 ÷ 4 = 4,555,774.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,555,774.75 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 | 18,223,099 | |
| -1 | 18,223,099 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 43 | 97 | 257 | 731 | 1,649 | 4,171 | 4,369 | 11,051 | 24,929 | 70,907 | 187,867 | 423,793 | 1,071,947 | 18,223,099 |
| -1 | -17 | -43 | -97 | -257 | -731 | -1,649 | -4,171 | -4,369 | -11,051 | -24,929 | -70,907 | -187,867 | -423,793 | -1,071,947 | -18,223,099 |
