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 22,720,601, 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 | 22,720,601 | |
| -1 | -22,720,601 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,720,601.
Example:
1 x 22,720,601 = 22,720,601
and
-1 x -22,720,601 = 22,720,601
Notice both answers equal 22,720,601
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,720,601 and divide it by 2:
22,720,601 ÷ 2 = 11,360,300.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,360,300.5 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 | 22,720,601 | |
| -1 | -22,720,601 |
Now, we try dividing 22,720,601 by 3:
22,720,601 ÷ 3 = 7,573,533.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,573,533.6667 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 | 22,720,601 | |
| -1 | -22,720,601 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,720,601 ÷ 4 = 5,680,150.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,680,150.25 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 | 22,720,601 | |
| -1 | 22,720,601 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 41 | 97 | 197 | 1,189 | 2,813 | 3,977 | 5,713 | 8,077 | 19,109 | 115,333 | 234,233 | 554,161 | 783,469 | 22,720,601 |
| -1 | -29 | -41 | -97 | -197 | -1,189 | -2,813 | -3,977 | -5,713 | -8,077 | -19,109 | -115,333 | -234,233 | -554,161 | -783,469 | -22,720,601 |
