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 23,242,111, 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 | 23,242,111 | |
| -1 | -23,242,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,242,111.
Example:
1 x 23,242,111 = 23,242,111
and
-1 x -23,242,111 = 23,242,111
Notice both answers equal 23,242,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,242,111 and divide it by 2:
23,242,111 ÷ 2 = 11,621,055.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,621,055.5 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 | 23,242,111 | |
| -1 | -23,242,111 |
Now, we try dividing 23,242,111 by 3:
23,242,111 ÷ 3 = 7,747,370.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,747,370.3333 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 | 23,242,111 | |
| -1 | -23,242,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,242,111 ÷ 4 = 5,810,527.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,810,527.75 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 | 23,242,111 | |
| -1 | 23,242,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 47 | 323 | 799 | 893 | 1,531 | 15,181 | 26,027 | 29,089 | 71,957 | 494,513 | 1,223,269 | 1,367,183 | 23,242,111 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -47 | -323 | -799 | -893 | -1,531 | -15,181 | -26,027 | -29,089 | -71,957 | -494,513 | -1,223,269 | -1,367,183 | -23,242,111 |
