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 23,333,653, 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 | 23,333,653 | |
| -1 | -23,333,653 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,333,653.
Example:
1 x 23,333,653 = 23,333,653
and
-1 x -23,333,653 = 23,333,653
Notice both answers equal 23,333,653
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,333,653 and divide it by 2:
23,333,653 ÷ 2 = 11,666,826.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,666,826.5 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 | 23,333,653 | |
| -1 | -23,333,653 |
Now, we try dividing 23,333,653 by 3:
23,333,653 ÷ 3 = 7,777,884.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,777,884.3333 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 | 23,333,653 | |
| -1 | -23,333,653 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,333,653 ÷ 4 = 5,833,413.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,833,413.25 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 | 23,333,653 | |
| -1 | 23,333,653 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 71 | 133 | 353 | 497 | 931 | 1,349 | 2,471 | 3,479 | 6,707 | 9,443 | 17,297 | 25,063 | 46,949 | 66,101 | 175,441 | 328,643 | 476,197 | 1,228,087 | 3,333,379 | 23,333,653 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -71 | -133 | -353 | -497 | -931 | -1,349 | -2,471 | -3,479 | -6,707 | -9,443 | -17,297 | -25,063 | -46,949 | -66,101 | -175,441 | -328,643 | -476,197 | -1,228,087 | -3,333,379 | -23,333,653 |
