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 23,526,713, 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 | 23,526,713 | |
| -1 | -23,526,713 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,526,713.
Example:
1 x 23,526,713 = 23,526,713
and
-1 x -23,526,713 = 23,526,713
Notice both answers equal 23,526,713
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,526,713 and divide it by 2:
23,526,713 ÷ 2 = 11,763,356.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,763,356.5 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 | 23,526,713 | |
| -1 | -23,526,713 |
Now, we try dividing 23,526,713 by 3:
23,526,713 ÷ 3 = 7,842,237.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,842,237.6667 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 | 23,526,713 | |
| -1 | -23,526,713 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,526,713 ÷ 4 = 5,881,678.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,881,678.25 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 | 23,526,713 | |
| -1 | 23,526,713 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 113 | 343 | 607 | 791 | 4,249 | 5,537 | 29,743 | 38,759 | 68,591 | 208,201 | 480,137 | 3,360,959 | 23,526,713 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -113 | -343 | -607 | -791 | -4,249 | -5,537 | -29,743 | -38,759 | -68,591 | -208,201 | -480,137 | -3,360,959 | -23,526,713 |
