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 23,032,529, 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 | 23,032,529 | |
| -1 | -23,032,529 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,032,529.
Example:
1 x 23,032,529 = 23,032,529
and
-1 x -23,032,529 = 23,032,529
Notice both answers equal 23,032,529
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,032,529 and divide it by 2:
23,032,529 ÷ 2 = 11,516,264.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,516,264.5 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 | 23,032,529 | |
| -1 | -23,032,529 |
Now, we try dividing 23,032,529 by 3:
23,032,529 ÷ 3 = 7,677,509.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,677,509.6667 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 | 23,032,529 | |
| -1 | -23,032,529 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,032,529 ÷ 4 = 5,758,132.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,758,132.25 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 | 23,032,529 | |
| -1 | 23,032,529 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 79 | 533 | 547 | 1,027 | 3,239 | 7,111 | 22,427 | 42,107 | 43,213 | 291,551 | 561,769 | 1,771,733 | 23,032,529 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -79 | -533 | -547 | -1,027 | -3,239 | -7,111 | -22,427 | -42,107 | -43,213 | -291,551 | -561,769 | -1,771,733 | -23,032,529 |
