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 22,023,109, 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 | 22,023,109 | |
| -1 | -22,023,109 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,023,109.
Example:
1 x 22,023,109 = 22,023,109
and
-1 x -22,023,109 = 22,023,109
Notice both answers equal 22,023,109
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,023,109 and divide it by 2:
22,023,109 ÷ 2 = 11,011,554.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,011,554.5 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 | 22,023,109 | |
| -1 | -22,023,109 |
Now, we try dividing 22,023,109 by 3:
22,023,109 ÷ 3 = 7,341,036.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,341,036.3333 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 | 22,023,109 | |
| -1 | -22,023,109 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,023,109 ÷ 4 = 5,505,777.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,505,777.25 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 | 22,023,109 | |
| -1 | 22,023,109 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 41 | 323 | 697 | 779 | 1,663 | 13,243 | 28,271 | 31,597 | 68,183 | 537,149 | 1,159,111 | 1,295,477 | 22,023,109 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -41 | -323 | -697 | -779 | -1,663 | -13,243 | -28,271 | -31,597 | -68,183 | -537,149 | -1,159,111 | -1,295,477 | -22,023,109 |
