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 23,315,345, 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 | 23,315,345 | |
| -1 | -23,315,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,315,345.
Example:
1 x 23,315,345 = 23,315,345
and
-1 x -23,315,345 = 23,315,345
Notice both answers equal 23,315,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,315,345 and divide it by 2:
23,315,345 ÷ 2 = 11,657,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,657,672.5 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 | 23,315,345 | |
| -1 | -23,315,345 |
Now, we try dividing 23,315,345 by 3:
23,315,345 ÷ 3 = 7,771,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,771,781.6667 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 | 23,315,345 | |
| -1 | -23,315,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,315,345 ÷ 4 = 5,828,836.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,828,836.25 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 | 23,315,345 | |
| -1 | 23,315,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 137 | 337 | 505 | 685 | 1,685 | 13,837 | 34,037 | 46,169 | 69,185 | 170,185 | 230,845 | 4,663,069 | 23,315,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -137 | -337 | -505 | -685 | -1,685 | -13,837 | -34,037 | -46,169 | -69,185 | -170,185 | -230,845 | -4,663,069 | -23,315,345 |
