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 22,433,243, 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 | 22,433,243 | |
| -1 | -22,433,243 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,433,243.
Example:
1 x 22,433,243 = 22,433,243
and
-1 x -22,433,243 = 22,433,243
Notice both answers equal 22,433,243
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,433,243 and divide it by 2:
22,433,243 ÷ 2 = 11,216,621.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,216,621.5 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 | 22,433,243 | |
| -1 | -22,433,243 |
Now, we try dividing 22,433,243 by 3:
22,433,243 ÷ 3 = 7,477,747.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,477,747.6667 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 | 22,433,243 | |
| -1 | -22,433,243 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,433,243 ÷ 4 = 5,608,310.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,608,310.75 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 | 22,433,243 | |
| -1 | 22,433,243 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 31 | 133 | 217 | 589 | 4,123 | 5,441 | 38,087 | 103,379 | 168,671 | 723,653 | 1,180,697 | 3,204,749 | 22,433,243 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -31 | -133 | -217 | -589 | -4,123 | -5,441 | -38,087 | -103,379 | -168,671 | -723,653 | -1,180,697 | -3,204,749 | -22,433,243 |
