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 22,980,209, 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 | 22,980,209 | |
| -1 | -22,980,209 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,980,209.
Example:
1 x 22,980,209 = 22,980,209
and
-1 x -22,980,209 = 22,980,209
Notice both answers equal 22,980,209
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,980,209 and divide it by 2:
22,980,209 ÷ 2 = 11,490,104.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,490,104.5 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 | 22,980,209 | |
| -1 | -22,980,209 |
Now, we try dividing 22,980,209 by 3:
22,980,209 ÷ 3 = 7,660,069.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,660,069.6667 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 | 22,980,209 | |
| -1 | -22,980,209 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,980,209 ÷ 4 = 5,745,052.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,745,052.25 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 | 22,980,209 | |
| -1 | 22,980,209 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 29 | 119 | 203 | 493 | 3,451 | 6,659 | 46,613 | 113,203 | 193,111 | 792,421 | 1,351,777 | 3,282,887 | 22,980,209 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -29 | -119 | -203 | -493 | -3,451 | -6,659 | -46,613 | -113,203 | -193,111 | -792,421 | -1,351,777 | -3,282,887 | -22,980,209 |
