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 17,530,435, 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 | 17,530,435 | |
| -1 | -17,530,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,530,435.
Example:
1 x 17,530,435 = 17,530,435
and
-1 x -17,530,435 = 17,530,435
Notice both answers equal 17,530,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,530,435 and divide it by 2:
17,530,435 ÷ 2 = 8,765,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,765,217.5 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 | 17,530,435 | |
| -1 | -17,530,435 |
Now, we try dividing 17,530,435 by 3:
17,530,435 ÷ 3 = 5,843,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,843,478.3333 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 | 17,530,435 | |
| -1 | -17,530,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,530,435 ÷ 4 = 4,382,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,382,608.75 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 | 17,530,435 | |
| -1 | 17,530,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 283 | 953 | 1,415 | 3,679 | 4,765 | 12,389 | 18,395 | 61,945 | 269,699 | 1,348,495 | 3,506,087 | 17,530,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -283 | -953 | -1,415 | -3,679 | -4,765 | -12,389 | -18,395 | -61,945 | -269,699 | -1,348,495 | -3,506,087 | -17,530,435 |
