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 23,085,337, 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 | 23,085,337 | |
| -1 | -23,085,337 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,085,337.
Example:
1 x 23,085,337 = 23,085,337
and
-1 x -23,085,337 = 23,085,337
Notice both answers equal 23,085,337
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,085,337 and divide it by 2:
23,085,337 ÷ 2 = 11,542,668.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,542,668.5 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 | 23,085,337 | |
| -1 | -23,085,337 |
Now, we try dividing 23,085,337 by 3:
23,085,337 ÷ 3 = 7,695,112.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,695,112.3333 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 | 23,085,337 | |
| -1 | -23,085,337 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,085,337 ÷ 4 = 5,771,334.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,771,334.25 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 | 23,085,337 | |
| -1 | 23,085,337 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 41 | 187 | 451 | 697 | 3,011 | 7,667 | 33,121 | 51,187 | 123,451 | 563,057 | 1,357,961 | 2,098,667 | 23,085,337 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -41 | -187 | -451 | -697 | -3,011 | -7,667 | -33,121 | -51,187 | -123,451 | -563,057 | -1,357,961 | -2,098,667 | -23,085,337 |
