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 22,002,335, 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 | 22,002,335 | |
| -1 | -22,002,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,002,335.
Example:
1 x 22,002,335 = 22,002,335
and
-1 x -22,002,335 = 22,002,335
Notice both answers equal 22,002,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,002,335 and divide it by 2:
22,002,335 ÷ 2 = 11,001,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,001,167.5 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 | 22,002,335 | |
| -1 | -22,002,335 |
Now, we try dividing 22,002,335 by 3:
22,002,335 ÷ 3 = 7,334,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,334,111.6667 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 | 22,002,335 | |
| -1 | -22,002,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,002,335 ÷ 4 = 5,500,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,500,583.75 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 | 22,002,335 | |
| -1 | 22,002,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 313 | 827 | 1,565 | 4,135 | 5,321 | 14,059 | 26,605 | 70,295 | 258,851 | 1,294,255 | 4,400,467 | 22,002,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -313 | -827 | -1,565 | -4,135 | -5,321 | -14,059 | -26,605 | -70,295 | -258,851 | -1,294,255 | -4,400,467 | -22,002,335 |
