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 22,734,605, 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 | 22,734,605 | |
| -1 | -22,734,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,734,605.
Example:
1 x 22,734,605 = 22,734,605
and
-1 x -22,734,605 = 22,734,605
Notice both answers equal 22,734,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,734,605 and divide it by 2:
22,734,605 ÷ 2 = 11,367,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,367,302.5 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 | 22,734,605 | |
| -1 | -22,734,605 |
Now, we try dividing 22,734,605 by 3:
22,734,605 ÷ 3 = 7,578,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,578,201.6667 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 | 22,734,605 | |
| -1 | -22,734,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,734,605 ÷ 4 = 5,683,651.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,683,651.25 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 | 22,734,605 | |
| -1 | 22,734,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 89 | 235 | 445 | 1,087 | 4,183 | 5,435 | 20,915 | 51,089 | 96,743 | 255,445 | 483,715 | 4,546,921 | 22,734,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -89 | -235 | -445 | -1,087 | -4,183 | -5,435 | -20,915 | -51,089 | -96,743 | -255,445 | -483,715 | -4,546,921 | -22,734,605 |
