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 23,307,167, 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 | 23,307,167 | |
| -1 | -23,307,167 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,307,167.
Example:
1 x 23,307,167 = 23,307,167
and
-1 x -23,307,167 = 23,307,167
Notice both answers equal 23,307,167
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,307,167 and divide it by 2:
23,307,167 ÷ 2 = 11,653,583.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,653,583.5 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 | 23,307,167 | |
| -1 | -23,307,167 |
Now, we try dividing 23,307,167 by 3:
23,307,167 ÷ 3 = 7,769,055.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,769,055.6667 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 | 23,307,167 | |
| -1 | -23,307,167 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,307,167 ÷ 4 = 5,826,791.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,826,791.75 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 | 23,307,167 | |
| -1 | 23,307,167 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 127 | 247 | 743 | 1,651 | 2,413 | 9,659 | 14,117 | 31,369 | 94,361 | 183,521 | 1,226,693 | 1,792,859 | 23,307,167 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -127 | -247 | -743 | -1,651 | -2,413 | -9,659 | -14,117 | -31,369 | -94,361 | -183,521 | -1,226,693 | -1,792,859 | -23,307,167 |
