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 22,635,239, 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 | 22,635,239 | |
| -1 | -22,635,239 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 22,635,239.
Example:
1 x 22,635,239 = 22,635,239
and
-1 x -22,635,239 = 22,635,239
Notice both answers equal 22,635,239
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 22,635,239 and divide it by 2:
22,635,239 ÷ 2 = 11,317,619.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,317,619.5 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 | 22,635,239 | |
| -1 | -22,635,239 |
Now, we try dividing 22,635,239 by 3:
22,635,239 ÷ 3 = 7,545,079.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,545,079.6667 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 | 22,635,239 | |
| -1 | -22,635,239 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
22,635,239 ÷ 4 = 5,658,809.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,658,809.75 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 | 22,635,239 | |
| -1 | 22,635,239 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 41 | 341 | 451 | 1,271 | 1,619 | 13,981 | 17,809 | 50,189 | 66,379 | 552,079 | 730,169 | 2,057,749 | 22,635,239 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -41 | -341 | -451 | -1,271 | -1,619 | -13,981 | -17,809 | -50,189 | -66,379 | -552,079 | -730,169 | -2,057,749 | -22,635,239 |
