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 22,346,485, 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 | 22,346,485 | |
| -1 | -22,346,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,346,485.
Example:
1 x 22,346,485 = 22,346,485
and
-1 x -22,346,485 = 22,346,485
Notice both answers equal 22,346,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,346,485 and divide it by 2:
22,346,485 ÷ 2 = 11,173,242.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,173,242.5 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 | 22,346,485 | |
| -1 | -22,346,485 |
Now, we try dividing 22,346,485 by 3:
22,346,485 ÷ 3 = 7,448,828.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,448,828.3333 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 | 22,346,485 | |
| -1 | -22,346,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,346,485 ÷ 4 = 5,586,621.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,586,621.25 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 | 22,346,485 | |
| -1 | 22,346,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 163 | 815 | 1,141 | 3,917 | 5,705 | 19,585 | 27,419 | 137,095 | 638,471 | 3,192,355 | 4,469,297 | 22,346,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -163 | -815 | -1,141 | -3,917 | -5,705 | -19,585 | -27,419 | -137,095 | -638,471 | -3,192,355 | -4,469,297 | -22,346,485 |
