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 22,939,609, 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 | 22,939,609 | |
| -1 | -22,939,609 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,939,609.
Example:
1 x 22,939,609 = 22,939,609
and
-1 x -22,939,609 = 22,939,609
Notice both answers equal 22,939,609
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,939,609 and divide it by 2:
22,939,609 ÷ 2 = 11,469,804.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,469,804.5 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 | 22,939,609 | |
| -1 | -22,939,609 |
Now, we try dividing 22,939,609 by 3:
22,939,609 ÷ 3 = 7,646,536.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,646,536.3333 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 | 22,939,609 | |
| -1 | -22,939,609 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,939,609 ÷ 4 = 5,734,902.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,734,902.25 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 | 22,939,609 | |
| -1 | 22,939,609 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 29 | 77 | 203 | 319 | 2,233 | 10,273 | 71,911 | 113,003 | 297,917 | 791,021 | 2,085,419 | 3,277,087 | 22,939,609 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -29 | -77 | -203 | -319 | -2,233 | -10,273 | -71,911 | -113,003 | -297,917 | -791,021 | -2,085,419 | -3,277,087 | -22,939,609 |
