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 23,342,525, 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 | 23,342,525 | |
| -1 | -23,342,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,342,525.
Example:
1 x 23,342,525 = 23,342,525
and
-1 x -23,342,525 = 23,342,525
Notice both answers equal 23,342,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,342,525 and divide it by 2:
23,342,525 ÷ 2 = 11,671,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,671,262.5 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 | 23,342,525 | |
| -1 | -23,342,525 |
Now, we try dividing 23,342,525 by 3:
23,342,525 ÷ 3 = 7,780,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,780,841.6667 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 | 23,342,525 | |
| -1 | -23,342,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,342,525 ÷ 4 = 5,835,631.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,835,631.25 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 | 23,342,525 | |
| -1 | 23,342,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 53 | 79 | 223 | 265 | 395 | 1,115 | 1,325 | 1,975 | 4,187 | 5,575 | 11,819 | 17,617 | 20,935 | 59,095 | 88,085 | 104,675 | 295,475 | 440,425 | 933,701 | 4,668,505 | 23,342,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -53 | -79 | -223 | -265 | -395 | -1,115 | -1,325 | -1,975 | -4,187 | -5,575 | -11,819 | -17,617 | -20,935 | -59,095 | -88,085 | -104,675 | -295,475 | -440,425 | -933,701 | -4,668,505 | -23,342,525 |
