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 22,404,005, 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 | 22,404,005 | |
| -1 | -22,404,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,404,005.
Example:
1 x 22,404,005 = 22,404,005
and
-1 x -22,404,005 = 22,404,005
Notice both answers equal 22,404,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,404,005 and divide it by 2:
22,404,005 ÷ 2 = 11,202,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,202,002.5 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 | 22,404,005 | |
| -1 | -22,404,005 |
Now, we try dividing 22,404,005 by 3:
22,404,005 ÷ 3 = 7,468,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,468,001.6667 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 | 22,404,005 | |
| -1 | -22,404,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,404,005 ÷ 4 = 5,601,001.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,601,001.25 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 | 22,404,005 | |
| -1 | 22,404,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 79 | 395 | 1,027 | 4,363 | 5,135 | 21,815 | 56,719 | 283,595 | 344,677 | 1,723,385 | 4,480,801 | 22,404,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -79 | -395 | -1,027 | -4,363 | -5,135 | -21,815 | -56,719 | -283,595 | -344,677 | -1,723,385 | -4,480,801 | -22,404,005 |
