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 22,796,165, 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 | 22,796,165 | |
| -1 | -22,796,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,796,165.
Example:
1 x 22,796,165 = 22,796,165
and
-1 x -22,796,165 = 22,796,165
Notice both answers equal 22,796,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,796,165 and divide it by 2:
22,796,165 ÷ 2 = 11,398,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,398,082.5 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 | 22,796,165 | |
| -1 | -22,796,165 |
Now, we try dividing 22,796,165 by 3:
22,796,165 ÷ 3 = 7,598,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,598,721.6667 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 | 22,796,165 | |
| -1 | -22,796,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,796,165 ÷ 4 = 5,699,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,699,041.25 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 | 22,796,165 | |
| -1 | 22,796,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 347 | 1,735 | 1,877 | 2,429 | 9,385 | 12,145 | 13,139 | 65,695 | 651,319 | 3,256,595 | 4,559,233 | 22,796,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -347 | -1,735 | -1,877 | -2,429 | -9,385 | -12,145 | -13,139 | -65,695 | -651,319 | -3,256,595 | -4,559,233 | -22,796,165 |
