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 23,335,403, 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 | 23,335,403 | |
| -1 | -23,335,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,335,403.
Example:
1 x 23,335,403 = 23,335,403
and
-1 x -23,335,403 = 23,335,403
Notice both answers equal 23,335,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,335,403 and divide it by 2:
23,335,403 ÷ 2 = 11,667,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,667,701.5 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 | 23,335,403 | |
| -1 | -23,335,403 |
Now, we try dividing 23,335,403 by 3:
23,335,403 ÷ 3 = 7,778,467.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,778,467.6667 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 | 23,335,403 | |
| -1 | -23,335,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,335,403 ÷ 4 = 5,833,850.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,833,850.75 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 | 23,335,403 | |
| -1 | 23,335,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 347 | 739 | 2,429 | 4,511 | 5,173 | 9,607 | 31,577 | 67,249 | 256,433 | 1,795,031 | 3,333,629 | 23,335,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -347 | -739 | -2,429 | -4,511 | -5,173 | -9,607 | -31,577 | -67,249 | -256,433 | -1,795,031 | -3,333,629 | -23,335,403 |
