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 22,522,535, 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 | 22,522,535 | |
| -1 | -22,522,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,522,535.
Example:
1 x 22,522,535 = 22,522,535
and
-1 x -22,522,535 = 22,522,535
Notice both answers equal 22,522,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,522,535 and divide it by 2:
22,522,535 ÷ 2 = 11,261,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,261,267.5 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 | 22,522,535 | |
| -1 | -22,522,535 |
Now, we try dividing 22,522,535 by 3:
22,522,535 ÷ 3 = 7,507,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,507,511.6667 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 | 22,522,535 | |
| -1 | -22,522,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,522,535 ÷ 4 = 5,630,633.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,630,633.75 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 | 22,522,535 | |
| -1 | 22,522,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 37,853 | 189,265 | 264,971 | 643,501 | 1,324,855 | 3,217,505 | 4,504,507 | 22,522,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -37,853 | -189,265 | -264,971 | -643,501 | -1,324,855 | -3,217,505 | -4,504,507 | -22,522,535 |
