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 22,024,405, 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 | 22,024,405 | |
| -1 | -22,024,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,024,405.
Example:
1 x 22,024,405 = 22,024,405
and
-1 x -22,024,405 = 22,024,405
Notice both answers equal 22,024,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,024,405 and divide it by 2:
22,024,405 ÷ 2 = 11,012,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,012,202.5 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 | 22,024,405 | |
| -1 | -22,024,405 |
Now, we try dividing 22,024,405 by 3:
22,024,405 ÷ 3 = 7,341,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,341,468.3333 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 | 22,024,405 | |
| -1 | -22,024,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,024,405 ÷ 4 = 5,506,101.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,506,101.25 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 | 22,024,405 | |
| -1 | 22,024,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 3,835 | 5,743 | 28,715 | 74,659 | 338,837 | 373,295 | 1,694,185 | 4,404,881 | 22,024,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -3,835 | -5,743 | -28,715 | -74,659 | -338,837 | -373,295 | -1,694,185 | -4,404,881 | -22,024,405 |
