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 23,363,255, 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 | 23,363,255 | |
| -1 | -23,363,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,363,255.
Example:
1 x 23,363,255 = 23,363,255
and
-1 x -23,363,255 = 23,363,255
Notice both answers equal 23,363,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,363,255 and divide it by 2:
23,363,255 ÷ 2 = 11,681,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,681,627.5 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 | 23,363,255 | |
| -1 | -23,363,255 |
Now, we try dividing 23,363,255 by 3:
23,363,255 ÷ 3 = 7,787,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,787,751.6667 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 | 23,363,255 | |
| -1 | -23,363,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,363,255 ÷ 4 = 5,840,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,840,813.75 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 | 23,363,255 | |
| -1 | 23,363,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 83 | 95 | 415 | 1,577 | 2,963 | 7,885 | 14,815 | 56,297 | 245,929 | 281,485 | 1,229,645 | 4,672,651 | 23,363,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -83 | -95 | -415 | -1,577 | -2,963 | -7,885 | -14,815 | -56,297 | -245,929 | -281,485 | -1,229,645 | -4,672,651 | -23,363,255 |
