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 22,555,565, 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 | 22,555,565 | |
| -1 | -22,555,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,555,565.
Example:
1 x 22,555,565 = 22,555,565
and
-1 x -22,555,565 = 22,555,565
Notice both answers equal 22,555,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,555,565 and divide it by 2:
22,555,565 ÷ 2 = 11,277,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,277,782.5 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 | 22,555,565 | |
| -1 | -22,555,565 |
Now, we try dividing 22,555,565 by 3:
22,555,565 ÷ 3 = 7,518,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,518,521.6667 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 | 22,555,565 | |
| -1 | -22,555,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,555,565 ÷ 4 = 5,638,891.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,638,891.25 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 | 22,555,565 | |
| -1 | 22,555,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 233 | 1,019 | 1,165 | 4,427 | 5,095 | 19,361 | 22,135 | 96,805 | 237,427 | 1,187,135 | 4,511,113 | 22,555,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -233 | -1,019 | -1,165 | -4,427 | -5,095 | -19,361 | -22,135 | -96,805 | -237,427 | -1,187,135 | -4,511,113 | -22,555,565 |
