How do I find the factor combinations of the number 22,361,647?

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 22,361,647, 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 22,361,647
-1 -22,361,647

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 22,361,647.

Example:
1 x 22,361,647 = 22,361,647
and
-1 x -22,361,647 = 22,361,647
Notice both answers equal 22,361,647

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,361,647 and divide it by 2:

22,361,647 ÷ 2 = 11,180,823.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,180,823.5 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 22,361,647
-1 -22,361,647

Now, we try dividing 22,361,647 by 3:

22,361,647 ÷ 3 = 7,453,882.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,453,882.3333 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 22,361,647
-1 -22,361,647

Let's try dividing by 4:

22,361,647 ÷ 4 = 5,590,411.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,590,411.75 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 22,361,647
-1 22,361,647
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

171117771191211878471,3091,5532,05710,87114,39917,08326,401119,581184,807187,913290,4111,315,3912,032,8773,194,52122,361,647
