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 22,903,517, 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 | 22,903,517 | |
| -1 | -22,903,517 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,903,517.
Example:
1 x 22,903,517 = 22,903,517
and
-1 x -22,903,517 = 22,903,517
Notice both answers equal 22,903,517
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,903,517 and divide it by 2:
22,903,517 ÷ 2 = 11,451,758.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,451,758.5 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 | 22,903,517 | |
| -1 | -22,903,517 |
Now, we try dividing 22,903,517 by 3:
22,903,517 ÷ 3 = 7,634,505.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,634,505.6667 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 | 22,903,517 | |
| -1 | -22,903,517 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,903,517 ÷ 4 = 5,725,879.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,725,879.25 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 | 22,903,517 | |
| -1 | 22,903,517 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 293 | 859 | 2,051 | 3,809 | 6,013 | 11,167 | 26,663 | 78,169 | 251,687 | 1,761,809 | 3,271,931 | 22,903,517 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -293 | -859 | -2,051 | -3,809 | -6,013 | -11,167 | -26,663 | -78,169 | -251,687 | -1,761,809 | -3,271,931 | -22,903,517 |
