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 28,824,083, 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 | 28,824,083 | |
| -1 | -28,824,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 28,824,083.
Example:
1 x 28,824,083 = 28,824,083
and
-1 x -28,824,083 = 28,824,083
Notice both answers equal 28,824,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 28,824,083 and divide it by 2:
28,824,083 ÷ 2 = 14,412,041.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,412,041.5 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 | 28,824,083 | |
| -1 | -28,824,083 |
Now, we try dividing 28,824,083 by 3:
28,824,083 ÷ 3 = 9,608,027.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,608,027.6667 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 | 28,824,083 | |
| -1 | -28,824,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
28,824,083 ÷ 4 = 7,206,020.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,206,020.75 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 | 28,824,083 | |
| -1 | 28,824,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 71 | 437 | 929 | 1,349 | 1,633 | 17,651 | 21,367 | 31,027 | 65,959 | 405,973 | 1,253,221 | 1,517,057 | 28,824,083 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -71 | -437 | -929 | -1,349 | -1,633 | -17,651 | -21,367 | -31,027 | -65,959 | -405,973 | -1,253,221 | -1,517,057 | -28,824,083 |
