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 22,200,343, 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 | 22,200,343 | |
| -1 | -22,200,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,200,343.
Example:
1 x 22,200,343 = 22,200,343
and
-1 x -22,200,343 = 22,200,343
Notice both answers equal 22,200,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,200,343 and divide it by 2:
22,200,343 ÷ 2 = 11,100,171.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,100,171.5 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 | 22,200,343 | |
| -1 | -22,200,343 |
Now, we try dividing 22,200,343 by 3:
22,200,343 ÷ 3 = 7,400,114.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,400,114.3333 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 | 22,200,343 | |
| -1 | -22,200,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,200,343 ÷ 4 = 5,550,085.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,550,085.75 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 | 22,200,343 | |
| -1 | 22,200,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 59 | 79 | 433 | 649 | 869 | 4,661 | 4,763 | 25,547 | 34,207 | 51,271 | 281,017 | 376,277 | 2,018,213 | 22,200,343 |
| -1 | -11 | -59 | -79 | -433 | -649 | -869 | -4,661 | -4,763 | -25,547 | -34,207 | -51,271 | -281,017 | -376,277 | -2,018,213 | -22,200,343 |
