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 23,346,635, 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 | 23,346,635 | |
| -1 | -23,346,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,346,635.
Example:
1 x 23,346,635 = 23,346,635
and
-1 x -23,346,635 = 23,346,635
Notice both answers equal 23,346,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,346,635 and divide it by 2:
23,346,635 ÷ 2 = 11,673,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,673,317.5 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 | 23,346,635 | |
| -1 | -23,346,635 |
Now, we try dividing 23,346,635 by 3:
23,346,635 ÷ 3 = 7,782,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,782,211.6667 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 | 23,346,635 | |
| -1 | -23,346,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,346,635 ÷ 4 = 5,836,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,836,658.75 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 | 23,346,635 | |
| -1 | 23,346,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 2,795 | 8,353 | 41,765 | 108,589 | 359,179 | 542,945 | 1,795,895 | 4,669,327 | 23,346,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -2,795 | -8,353 | -41,765 | -108,589 | -359,179 | -542,945 | -1,795,895 | -4,669,327 | -23,346,635 |
