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 23,234,035, 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 | 23,234,035 | |
| -1 | -23,234,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,234,035.
Example:
1 x 23,234,035 = 23,234,035
and
-1 x -23,234,035 = 23,234,035
Notice both answers equal 23,234,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,234,035 and divide it by 2:
23,234,035 ÷ 2 = 11,617,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,617,017.5 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 | 23,234,035 | |
| -1 | -23,234,035 |
Now, we try dividing 23,234,035 by 3:
23,234,035 ÷ 3 = 7,744,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,744,678.3333 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 | 23,234,035 | |
| -1 | -23,234,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,234,035 ÷ 4 = 5,808,508.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,808,508.75 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 | 23,234,035 | |
| -1 | 23,234,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 13,627 | 68,135 | 149,897 | 422,437 | 749,485 | 2,112,185 | 4,646,807 | 23,234,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -13,627 | -68,135 | -149,897 | -422,437 | -749,485 | -2,112,185 | -4,646,807 | -23,234,035 |
