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 22,444,165, 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 | 22,444,165 | |
| -1 | -22,444,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,444,165.
Example:
1 x 22,444,165 = 22,444,165
and
-1 x -22,444,165 = 22,444,165
Notice both answers equal 22,444,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,444,165 and divide it by 2:
22,444,165 ÷ 2 = 11,222,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,222,082.5 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 | 22,444,165 | |
| -1 | -22,444,165 |
Now, we try dividing 22,444,165 by 3:
22,444,165 ÷ 3 = 7,481,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,481,388.3333 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 | 22,444,165 | |
| -1 | -22,444,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,444,165 ÷ 4 = 5,611,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,611,041.25 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 | 22,444,165 | |
| -1 | 22,444,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 71 | 85 | 355 | 1,207 | 3,719 | 6,035 | 18,595 | 63,223 | 264,049 | 316,115 | 1,320,245 | 4,488,833 | 22,444,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -71 | -85 | -355 | -1,207 | -3,719 | -6,035 | -18,595 | -63,223 | -264,049 | -316,115 | -1,320,245 | -4,488,833 | -22,444,165 |
