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 23,360,771, 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 | 23,360,771 | |
| -1 | -23,360,771 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,360,771.
Example:
1 x 23,360,771 = 23,360,771
and
-1 x -23,360,771 = 23,360,771
Notice both answers equal 23,360,771
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,360,771 and divide it by 2:
23,360,771 ÷ 2 = 11,680,385.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,680,385.5 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 | 23,360,771 | |
| -1 | -23,360,771 |
Now, we try dividing 23,360,771 by 3:
23,360,771 ÷ 3 = 7,786,923.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,786,923.6667 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 | 23,360,771 | |
| -1 | -23,360,771 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,360,771 ÷ 4 = 5,840,192.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,840,192.75 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 | 23,360,771 | |
| -1 | 23,360,771 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 109 | 119 | 763 | 1,801 | 1,853 | 12,607 | 12,971 | 30,617 | 196,309 | 214,319 | 1,374,163 | 3,337,253 | 23,360,771 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -109 | -119 | -763 | -1,801 | -1,853 | -12,607 | -12,971 | -30,617 | -196,309 | -214,319 | -1,374,163 | -3,337,253 | -23,360,771 |
