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 23,408,825, 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 | 23,408,825 | |
| -1 | -23,408,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,408,825.
Example:
1 x 23,408,825 = 23,408,825
and
-1 x -23,408,825 = 23,408,825
Notice both answers equal 23,408,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,408,825 and divide it by 2:
23,408,825 ÷ 2 = 11,704,412.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,704,412.5 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 | 23,408,825 | |
| -1 | -23,408,825 |
Now, we try dividing 23,408,825 by 3:
23,408,825 ÷ 3 = 7,802,941.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,802,941.6667 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 | 23,408,825 | |
| -1 | -23,408,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,408,825 ÷ 4 = 5,852,206.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,852,206.25 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 | 23,408,825 | |
| -1 | 23,408,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 25 | 55 | 115 | 253 | 275 | 575 | 1,265 | 3,701 | 6,325 | 18,505 | 40,711 | 85,123 | 92,525 | 203,555 | 425,615 | 936,353 | 1,017,775 | 2,128,075 | 4,681,765 | 23,408,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -25 | -55 | -115 | -253 | -275 | -575 | -1,265 | -3,701 | -6,325 | -18,505 | -40,711 | -85,123 | -92,525 | -203,555 | -425,615 | -936,353 | -1,017,775 | -2,128,075 | -4,681,765 | -23,408,825 |
