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 23,570,701, 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 | 23,570,701 | |
| -1 | -23,570,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,570,701.
Example:
1 x 23,570,701 = 23,570,701
and
-1 x -23,570,701 = 23,570,701
Notice both answers equal 23,570,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,570,701 and divide it by 2:
23,570,701 ÷ 2 = 11,785,350.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,785,350.5 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 | 23,570,701 | |
| -1 | -23,570,701 |
Now, we try dividing 23,570,701 by 3:
23,570,701 ÷ 3 = 7,856,900.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,856,900.3333 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 | 23,570,701 | |
| -1 | -23,570,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,570,701 ÷ 4 = 5,892,675.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,892,675.25 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 | 23,570,701 | |
| -1 | 23,570,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 443 | 691 | 3,101 | 4,837 | 4,873 | 7,601 | 34,111 | 53,207 | 306,113 | 2,142,791 | 3,367,243 | 23,570,701 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -443 | -691 | -3,101 | -4,837 | -4,873 | -7,601 | -34,111 | -53,207 | -306,113 | -2,142,791 | -3,367,243 | -23,570,701 |
