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 23,212,325, 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 | 23,212,325 | |
| -1 | -23,212,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,212,325.
Example:
1 x 23,212,325 = 23,212,325
and
-1 x -23,212,325 = 23,212,325
Notice both answers equal 23,212,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,212,325 and divide it by 2:
23,212,325 ÷ 2 = 11,606,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,606,162.5 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 | 23,212,325 | |
| -1 | -23,212,325 |
Now, we try dividing 23,212,325 by 3:
23,212,325 ÷ 3 = 7,737,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,737,441.6667 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 | 23,212,325 | |
| -1 | -23,212,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,212,325 ÷ 4 = 5,803,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,803,081.25 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 | 23,212,325 | |
| -1 | 23,212,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 101 | 145 | 317 | 505 | 725 | 1,585 | 2,525 | 2,929 | 7,925 | 9,193 | 14,645 | 32,017 | 45,965 | 73,225 | 160,085 | 229,825 | 800,425 | 928,493 | 4,642,465 | 23,212,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -101 | -145 | -317 | -505 | -725 | -1,585 | -2,525 | -2,929 | -7,925 | -9,193 | -14,645 | -32,017 | -45,965 | -73,225 | -160,085 | -229,825 | -800,425 | -928,493 | -4,642,465 | -23,212,325 |
