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 23,032,303, 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 | 23,032,303 | |
| -1 | -23,032,303 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,032,303.
Example:
1 x 23,032,303 = 23,032,303
and
-1 x -23,032,303 = 23,032,303
Notice both answers equal 23,032,303
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,032,303 and divide it by 2:
23,032,303 ÷ 2 = 11,516,151.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,516,151.5 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 | 23,032,303 | |
| -1 | -23,032,303 |
Now, we try dividing 23,032,303 by 3:
23,032,303 ÷ 3 = 7,677,434.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,677,434.3333 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 | 23,032,303 | |
| -1 | -23,032,303 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,032,303 ÷ 4 = 5,758,075.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,758,075.75 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 | 23,032,303 | |
| -1 | 23,032,303 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 47 | 49 | 73 | 137 | 329 | 511 | 959 | 2,303 | 3,431 | 3,577 | 6,439 | 6,713 | 10,001 | 24,017 | 45,073 | 70,007 | 168,119 | 315,511 | 470,047 | 490,049 | 3,290,329 | 23,032,303 |
| -1 | -7 | -47 | -49 | -73 | -137 | -329 | -511 | -959 | -2,303 | -3,431 | -3,577 | -6,439 | -6,713 | -10,001 | -24,017 | -45,073 | -70,007 | -168,119 | -315,511 | -470,047 | -490,049 | -3,290,329 | -23,032,303 |
