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 22,004,003, 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 | 22,004,003 | |
| -1 | -22,004,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,004,003.
Example:
1 x 22,004,003 = 22,004,003
and
-1 x -22,004,003 = 22,004,003
Notice both answers equal 22,004,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,004,003 and divide it by 2:
22,004,003 ÷ 2 = 11,002,001.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,002,001.5 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 | 22,004,003 | |
| -1 | -22,004,003 |
Now, we try dividing 22,004,003 by 3:
22,004,003 ÷ 3 = 7,334,667.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,334,667.6667 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 | 22,004,003 | |
| -1 | -22,004,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,004,003 ÷ 4 = 5,501,000.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,501,000.75 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 | 22,004,003 | |
| -1 | 22,004,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 43 | 287 | 301 | 1,763 | 1,783 | 12,341 | 12,481 | 73,103 | 76,669 | 511,721 | 536,683 | 3,143,429 | 22,004,003 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -43 | -287 | -301 | -1,763 | -1,783 | -12,341 | -12,481 | -73,103 | -76,669 | -511,721 | -536,683 | -3,143,429 | -22,004,003 |
