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 23,125,235, 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 | 23,125,235 | |
| -1 | -23,125,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,125,235.
Example:
1 x 23,125,235 = 23,125,235
and
-1 x -23,125,235 = 23,125,235
Notice both answers equal 23,125,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,125,235 and divide it by 2:
23,125,235 ÷ 2 = 11,562,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,562,617.5 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 | 23,125,235 | |
| -1 | -23,125,235 |
Now, we try dividing 23,125,235 by 3:
23,125,235 ÷ 3 = 7,708,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,708,411.6667 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 | 23,125,235 | |
| -1 | -23,125,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,125,235 ÷ 4 = 5,781,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,781,308.75 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 | 23,125,235 | |
| -1 | 23,125,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 529 | 805 | 1,249 | 2,645 | 3,703 | 6,245 | 8,743 | 18,515 | 28,727 | 43,715 | 143,635 | 201,089 | 660,721 | 1,005,445 | 3,303,605 | 4,625,047 | 23,125,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -529 | -805 | -1,249 | -2,645 | -3,703 | -6,245 | -8,743 | -18,515 | -28,727 | -43,715 | -143,635 | -201,089 | -660,721 | -1,005,445 | -3,303,605 | -4,625,047 | -23,125,235 |
