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 23,434,033, 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 | 23,434,033 | |
| -1 | -23,434,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,434,033.
Example:
1 x 23,434,033 = 23,434,033
and
-1 x -23,434,033 = 23,434,033
Notice both answers equal 23,434,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,434,033 and divide it by 2:
23,434,033 ÷ 2 = 11,717,016.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,717,016.5 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 | 23,434,033 | |
| -1 | -23,434,033 |
Now, we try dividing 23,434,033 by 3:
23,434,033 ÷ 3 = 7,811,344.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,811,344.3333 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 | 23,434,033 | |
| -1 | -23,434,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,434,033 ÷ 4 = 5,858,508.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,858,508.25 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 | 23,434,033 | |
| -1 | 23,434,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 59 | 161 | 413 | 1,357 | 2,467 | 9,499 | 17,269 | 56,741 | 145,553 | 397,187 | 1,018,871 | 3,347,719 | 23,434,033 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -59 | -161 | -413 | -1,357 | -2,467 | -9,499 | -17,269 | -56,741 | -145,553 | -397,187 | -1,018,871 | -3,347,719 | -23,434,033 |
