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 23,411,635, 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 | 23,411,635 | |
| -1 | -23,411,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,411,635.
Example:
1 x 23,411,635 = 23,411,635
and
-1 x -23,411,635 = 23,411,635
Notice both answers equal 23,411,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,411,635 and divide it by 2:
23,411,635 ÷ 2 = 11,705,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,705,817.5 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 | 23,411,635 | |
| -1 | -23,411,635 |
Now, we try dividing 23,411,635 by 3:
23,411,635 ÷ 3 = 7,803,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,803,878.3333 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 | 23,411,635 | |
| -1 | -23,411,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,411,635 ÷ 4 = 5,852,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,852,908.75 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 | 23,411,635 | |
| -1 | 23,411,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 17 | 65 | 85 | 221 | 1,105 | 21,187 | 105,935 | 275,431 | 360,179 | 1,377,155 | 1,800,895 | 4,682,327 | 23,411,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -17 | -65 | -85 | -221 | -1,105 | -21,187 | -105,935 | -275,431 | -360,179 | -1,377,155 | -1,800,895 | -4,682,327 | -23,411,635 |
