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 22,435,483, 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 | 22,435,483 | |
| -1 | -22,435,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,435,483.
Example:
1 x 22,435,483 = 22,435,483
and
-1 x -22,435,483 = 22,435,483
Notice both answers equal 22,435,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,435,483 and divide it by 2:
22,435,483 ÷ 2 = 11,217,741.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,217,741.5 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 | 22,435,483 | |
| -1 | -22,435,483 |
Now, we try dividing 22,435,483 by 3:
22,435,483 ÷ 3 = 7,478,494.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,478,494.3333 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 | 22,435,483 | |
| -1 | -22,435,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,435,483 ÷ 4 = 5,608,870.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,608,870.75 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 | 22,435,483 | |
| -1 | 22,435,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 53 | 163 | 371 | 1,141 | 2,597 | 2,809 | 7,987 | 8,639 | 19,663 | 60,473 | 137,641 | 423,311 | 457,867 | 3,205,069 | 22,435,483 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -53 | -163 | -371 | -1,141 | -2,597 | -2,809 | -7,987 | -8,639 | -19,663 | -60,473 | -137,641 | -423,311 | -457,867 | -3,205,069 | -22,435,483 |
