How do I find the factor combinations of the number 22,167,475?

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 22,167,475, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 22,167,475
-1 -22,167,475

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,167,475.

Example:
1 x 22,167,475 = 22,167,475
and
-1 x -22,167,475 = 22,167,475
Notice both answers equal 22,167,475

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,167,475 and divide it by 2:

22,167,475 ÷ 2 = 11,083,737.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,083,737.5 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 22,167,475
-1 -22,167,475

Now, we try dividing 22,167,475 by 3:

22,167,475 ÷ 3 = 7,389,158.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,389,158.3333 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 22,167,475
-1 -22,167,475

Let's try dividing by 4:

22,167,475 ÷ 4 = 5,541,868.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,541,868.75 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 22,167,475
-1 22,167,475
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

151125551492755417451,6392,7053,7255,9518,19513,52529,75540,97580,609148,775403,045886,6992,015,2254,433,49522,167,475
