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 22,982,935, 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 | 22,982,935 | |
| -1 | -22,982,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,982,935.
Example:
1 x 22,982,935 = 22,982,935
and
-1 x -22,982,935 = 22,982,935
Notice both answers equal 22,982,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,982,935 and divide it by 2:
22,982,935 ÷ 2 = 11,491,467.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,491,467.5 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 | 22,982,935 | |
| -1 | -22,982,935 |
Now, we try dividing 22,982,935 by 3:
22,982,935 ÷ 3 = 7,660,978.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,660,978.3333 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 | 22,982,935 | |
| -1 | -22,982,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,982,935 ÷ 4 = 5,745,733.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,745,733.75 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 | 22,982,935 | |
| -1 | 22,982,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 31 | 145 | 155 | 899 | 4,495 | 5,113 | 25,565 | 148,277 | 158,503 | 741,385 | 792,515 | 4,596,587 | 22,982,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -31 | -145 | -155 | -899 | -4,495 | -5,113 | -25,565 | -148,277 | -158,503 | -741,385 | -792,515 | -4,596,587 | -22,982,935 |
