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 22,204,001, 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 | 22,204,001 | |
| -1 | -22,204,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,204,001.
Example:
1 x 22,204,001 = 22,204,001
and
-1 x -22,204,001 = 22,204,001
Notice both answers equal 22,204,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,204,001 and divide it by 2:
22,204,001 ÷ 2 = 11,102,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,102,000.5 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 | 22,204,001 | |
| -1 | -22,204,001 |
Now, we try dividing 22,204,001 by 3:
22,204,001 ÷ 3 = 7,401,333.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,401,333.6667 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 | 22,204,001 | |
| -1 | -22,204,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,204,001 ÷ 4 = 5,551,000.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,551,000.25 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 | 22,204,001 | |
| -1 | 22,204,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 59 | 67 | 137 | 2,419 | 2,747 | 3,953 | 5,617 | 8,083 | 9,179 | 162,073 | 331,403 | 376,339 | 541,561 | 22,204,001 |
| -1 | -41 | -59 | -67 | -137 | -2,419 | -2,747 | -3,953 | -5,617 | -8,083 | -9,179 | -162,073 | -331,403 | -376,339 | -541,561 | -22,204,001 |
