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 22,002,343, 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 | 22,002,343 | |
| -1 | -22,002,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,002,343.
Example:
1 x 22,002,343 = 22,002,343
and
-1 x -22,002,343 = 22,002,343
Notice both answers equal 22,002,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,002,343 and divide it by 2:
22,002,343 ÷ 2 = 11,001,171.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,001,171.5 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 | 22,002,343 | |
| -1 | -22,002,343 |
Now, we try dividing 22,002,343 by 3:
22,002,343 ÷ 3 = 7,334,114.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,334,114.3333 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 | 22,002,343 | |
| -1 | -22,002,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,002,343 ÷ 4 = 5,500,585.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,500,585.75 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 | 22,002,343 | |
| -1 | 22,002,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 113 | 341 | 571 | 1,243 | 3,503 | 6,281 | 17,701 | 38,533 | 64,523 | 194,711 | 709,753 | 2,000,213 | 22,002,343 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -113 | -341 | -571 | -1,243 | -3,503 | -6,281 | -17,701 | -38,533 | -64,523 | -194,711 | -709,753 | -2,000,213 | -22,002,343 |
