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 23,036,335, 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 | 23,036,335 | |
| -1 | -23,036,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,036,335.
Example:
1 x 23,036,335 = 23,036,335
and
-1 x -23,036,335 = 23,036,335
Notice both answers equal 23,036,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,036,335 and divide it by 2:
23,036,335 ÷ 2 = 11,518,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,518,167.5 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 | 23,036,335 | |
| -1 | -23,036,335 |
Now, we try dividing 23,036,335 by 3:
23,036,335 ÷ 3 = 7,678,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,678,778.3333 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 | 23,036,335 | |
| -1 | -23,036,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,036,335 ÷ 4 = 5,759,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,759,083.75 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 | 23,036,335 | |
| -1 | 23,036,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 499 | 1,319 | 2,495 | 3,493 | 6,595 | 9,233 | 17,465 | 46,165 | 658,181 | 3,290,905 | 4,607,267 | 23,036,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -499 | -1,319 | -2,495 | -3,493 | -6,595 | -9,233 | -17,465 | -46,165 | -658,181 | -3,290,905 | -4,607,267 | -23,036,335 |
