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 23,410,037, 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 | 23,410,037 | |
| -1 | -23,410,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,410,037.
Example:
1 x 23,410,037 = 23,410,037
and
-1 x -23,410,037 = 23,410,037
Notice both answers equal 23,410,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,410,037 and divide it by 2:
23,410,037 ÷ 2 = 11,705,018.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,705,018.5 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 | 23,410,037 | |
| -1 | -23,410,037 |
Now, we try dividing 23,410,037 by 3:
23,410,037 ÷ 3 = 7,803,345.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,803,345.6667 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 | 23,410,037 | |
| -1 | -23,410,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,410,037 ÷ 4 = 5,852,509.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,852,509.25 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 | 23,410,037 | |
| -1 | 23,410,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 127 | 889 | 1,549 | 2,159 | 10,843 | 15,113 | 26,333 | 184,331 | 196,723 | 1,377,061 | 3,344,291 | 23,410,037 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -127 | -889 | -1,549 | -2,159 | -10,843 | -15,113 | -26,333 | -184,331 | -196,723 | -1,377,061 | -3,344,291 | -23,410,037 |
