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 23,466,415, 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 | 23,466,415 | |
| -1 | -23,466,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,466,415.
Example:
1 x 23,466,415 = 23,466,415
and
-1 x -23,466,415 = 23,466,415
Notice both answers equal 23,466,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,466,415 and divide it by 2:
23,466,415 ÷ 2 = 11,733,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,733,207.5 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 | 23,466,415 | |
| -1 | -23,466,415 |
Now, we try dividing 23,466,415 by 3:
23,466,415 ÷ 3 = 7,822,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,822,138.3333 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 | 23,466,415 | |
| -1 | -23,466,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,466,415 ÷ 4 = 5,866,603.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,866,603.75 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 | 23,466,415 | |
| -1 | 23,466,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 67 | 335 | 469 | 2,345 | 10,007 | 50,035 | 70,049 | 350,245 | 670,469 | 3,352,345 | 4,693,283 | 23,466,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -67 | -335 | -469 | -2,345 | -10,007 | -50,035 | -70,049 | -350,245 | -670,469 | -3,352,345 | -4,693,283 | -23,466,415 |
