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 23,233,505, 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 | 23,233,505 | |
| -1 | -23,233,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,233,505.
Example:
1 x 23,233,505 = 23,233,505
and
-1 x -23,233,505 = 23,233,505
Notice both answers equal 23,233,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,233,505 and divide it by 2:
23,233,505 ÷ 2 = 11,616,752.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,616,752.5 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 | 23,233,505 | |
| -1 | -23,233,505 |
Now, we try dividing 23,233,505 by 3:
23,233,505 ÷ 3 = 7,744,501.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,744,501.6667 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 | 23,233,505 | |
| -1 | -23,233,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,233,505 ÷ 4 = 5,808,376.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,808,376.25 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 | 23,233,505 | |
| -1 | 23,233,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 131 | 395 | 449 | 655 | 2,245 | 10,349 | 35,471 | 51,745 | 58,819 | 177,355 | 294,095 | 4,646,701 | 23,233,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -131 | -395 | -449 | -655 | -2,245 | -10,349 | -35,471 | -51,745 | -58,819 | -177,355 | -294,095 | -4,646,701 | -23,233,505 |
