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 23,375,485, 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 | 23,375,485 | |
| -1 | -23,375,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,375,485.
Example:
1 x 23,375,485 = 23,375,485
and
-1 x -23,375,485 = 23,375,485
Notice both answers equal 23,375,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,375,485 and divide it by 2:
23,375,485 ÷ 2 = 11,687,742.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,687,742.5 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 | 23,375,485 | |
| -1 | -23,375,485 |
Now, we try dividing 23,375,485 by 3:
23,375,485 ÷ 3 = 7,791,828.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,791,828.3333 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 | 23,375,485 | |
| -1 | -23,375,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,375,485 ÷ 4 = 5,843,871.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,843,871.25 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 | 23,375,485 | |
| -1 | 23,375,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 523 | 1,277 | 2,615 | 3,661 | 6,385 | 8,939 | 18,305 | 44,695 | 667,871 | 3,339,355 | 4,675,097 | 23,375,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -523 | -1,277 | -2,615 | -3,661 | -6,385 | -8,939 | -18,305 | -44,695 | -667,871 | -3,339,355 | -4,675,097 | -23,375,485 |
