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 22,023,299, 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 | 22,023,299 | |
| -1 | -22,023,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,023,299.
Example:
1 x 22,023,299 = 22,023,299
and
-1 x -22,023,299 = 22,023,299
Notice both answers equal 22,023,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,023,299 and divide it by 2:
22,023,299 ÷ 2 = 11,011,649.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,011,649.5 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 | 22,023,299 | |
| -1 | -22,023,299 |
Now, we try dividing 22,023,299 by 3:
22,023,299 ÷ 3 = 7,341,099.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,341,099.6667 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 | 22,023,299 | |
| -1 | -22,023,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,023,299 ÷ 4 = 5,505,824.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,505,824.75 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 | 22,023,299 | |
| -1 | 22,023,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 139 | 269 | 589 | 2,641 | 4,309 | 5,111 | 8,339 | 37,391 | 81,871 | 158,441 | 710,429 | 1,159,121 | 22,023,299 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -139 | -269 | -589 | -2,641 | -4,309 | -5,111 | -8,339 | -37,391 | -81,871 | -158,441 | -710,429 | -1,159,121 | -22,023,299 |
