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 23,355,335, 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 | 23,355,335 | |
| -1 | -23,355,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,355,335.
Example:
1 x 23,355,335 = 23,355,335
and
-1 x -23,355,335 = 23,355,335
Notice both answers equal 23,355,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,355,335 and divide it by 2:
23,355,335 ÷ 2 = 11,677,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,677,667.5 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 | 23,355,335 | |
| -1 | -23,355,335 |
Now, we try dividing 23,355,335 by 3:
23,355,335 ÷ 3 = 7,785,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,785,111.6667 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 | 23,355,335 | |
| -1 | -23,355,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,355,335 ÷ 4 = 5,838,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,838,833.75 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 | 23,355,335 | |
| -1 | 23,355,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 131 | 181 | 197 | 655 | 905 | 985 | 23,711 | 25,807 | 35,657 | 118,555 | 129,035 | 178,285 | 4,671,067 | 23,355,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -131 | -181 | -197 | -655 | -905 | -985 | -23,711 | -25,807 | -35,657 | -118,555 | -129,035 | -178,285 | -4,671,067 | -23,355,335 |
