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 22,694,665, 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 | 22,694,665 | |
| -1 | -22,694,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,694,665.
Example:
1 x 22,694,665 = 22,694,665
and
-1 x -22,694,665 = 22,694,665
Notice both answers equal 22,694,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,694,665 and divide it by 2:
22,694,665 ÷ 2 = 11,347,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,347,332.5 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 | 22,694,665 | |
| -1 | -22,694,665 |
Now, we try dividing 22,694,665 by 3:
22,694,665 ÷ 3 = 7,564,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,564,888.3333 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 | 22,694,665 | |
| -1 | -22,694,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,694,665 ÷ 4 = 5,673,666.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,673,666.25 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 | 22,694,665 | |
| -1 | 22,694,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 383 | 1,693 | 1,915 | 2,681 | 8,465 | 11,851 | 13,405 | 59,255 | 648,419 | 3,242,095 | 4,538,933 | 22,694,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -383 | -1,693 | -1,915 | -2,681 | -8,465 | -11,851 | -13,405 | -59,255 | -648,419 | -3,242,095 | -4,538,933 | -22,694,665 |
