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 22,655,035, 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 | 22,655,035 | |
| -1 | -22,655,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,655,035.
Example:
1 x 22,655,035 = 22,655,035
and
-1 x -22,655,035 = 22,655,035
Notice both answers equal 22,655,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,655,035 and divide it by 2:
22,655,035 ÷ 2 = 11,327,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,327,517.5 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 | 22,655,035 | |
| -1 | -22,655,035 |
Now, we try dividing 22,655,035 by 3:
22,655,035 ÷ 3 = 7,551,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,551,678.3333 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 | 22,655,035 | |
| -1 | -22,655,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,655,035 ÷ 4 = 5,663,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,663,758.75 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 | 22,655,035 | |
| -1 | 22,655,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 71 | 355 | 923 | 4,615 | 4,909 | 24,545 | 63,817 | 319,085 | 348,539 | 1,742,695 | 4,531,007 | 22,655,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -71 | -355 | -923 | -4,615 | -4,909 | -24,545 | -63,817 | -319,085 | -348,539 | -1,742,695 | -4,531,007 | -22,655,035 |
