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 22,360,457, 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 | 22,360,457 | |
| -1 | -22,360,457 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,360,457.
Example:
1 x 22,360,457 = 22,360,457
and
-1 x -22,360,457 = 22,360,457
Notice both answers equal 22,360,457
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,360,457 and divide it by 2:
22,360,457 ÷ 2 = 11,180,228.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,180,228.5 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 | 22,360,457 | |
| -1 | -22,360,457 |
Now, we try dividing 22,360,457 by 3:
22,360,457 ÷ 3 = 7,453,485.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,453,485.6667 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 | 22,360,457 | |
| -1 | -22,360,457 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,360,457 ÷ 4 = 5,590,114.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,590,114.25 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 | 22,360,457 | |
| -1 | 22,360,457 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 41 | 119 | 287 | 697 | 4,583 | 4,879 | 32,081 | 77,911 | 187,903 | 545,377 | 1,315,321 | 3,194,351 | 22,360,457 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -41 | -119 | -287 | -697 | -4,583 | -4,879 | -32,081 | -77,911 | -187,903 | -545,377 | -1,315,321 | -3,194,351 | -22,360,457 |
