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 22,468,069, 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 | 22,468,069 | |
| -1 | -22,468,069 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,468,069.
Example:
1 x 22,468,069 = 22,468,069
and
-1 x -22,468,069 = 22,468,069
Notice both answers equal 22,468,069
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,468,069 and divide it by 2:
22,468,069 ÷ 2 = 11,234,034.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,234,034.5 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 | 22,468,069 | |
| -1 | -22,468,069 |
Now, we try dividing 22,468,069 by 3:
22,468,069 ÷ 3 = 7,489,356.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,489,356.3333 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 | 22,468,069 | |
| -1 | -22,468,069 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,468,069 ÷ 4 = 5,617,017.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,617,017.25 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 | 22,468,069 | |
| -1 | 22,468,069 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 61 | 377 | 793 | 977 | 1,769 | 12,701 | 22,997 | 28,333 | 59,597 | 368,329 | 774,761 | 1,728,313 | 22,468,069 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -61 | -377 | -793 | -977 | -1,769 | -12,701 | -22,997 | -28,333 | -59,597 | -368,329 | -774,761 | -1,728,313 | -22,468,069 |
