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 23,336,735, 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 | 23,336,735 | |
| -1 | -23,336,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,336,735.
Example:
1 x 23,336,735 = 23,336,735
and
-1 x -23,336,735 = 23,336,735
Notice both answers equal 23,336,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,336,735 and divide it by 2:
23,336,735 ÷ 2 = 11,668,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,668,367.5 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 | 23,336,735 | |
| -1 | -23,336,735 |
Now, we try dividing 23,336,735 by 3:
23,336,735 ÷ 3 = 7,778,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,778,911.6667 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 | 23,336,735 | |
| -1 | -23,336,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,336,735 ÷ 4 = 5,834,183.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,834,183.75 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 | 23,336,735 | |
| -1 | 23,336,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 227 | 709 | 1,135 | 3,545 | 6,583 | 20,561 | 32,915 | 102,805 | 160,943 | 804,715 | 4,667,347 | 23,336,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -227 | -709 | -1,135 | -3,545 | -6,583 | -20,561 | -32,915 | -102,805 | -160,943 | -804,715 | -4,667,347 | -23,336,735 |
