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 23,613,511, 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 | 23,613,511 | |
| -1 | -23,613,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,613,511.
Example:
1 x 23,613,511 = 23,613,511
and
-1 x -23,613,511 = 23,613,511
Notice both answers equal 23,613,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,613,511 and divide it by 2:
23,613,511 ÷ 2 = 11,806,755.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,806,755.5 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 | 23,613,511 | |
| -1 | -23,613,511 |
Now, we try dividing 23,613,511 by 3:
23,613,511 ÷ 3 = 7,871,170.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,871,170.3333 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 | 23,613,511 | |
| -1 | -23,613,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,613,511 ÷ 4 = 5,903,377.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,903,377.75 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 | 23,613,511 | |
| -1 | 23,613,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 37 | 59 | 373 | 1,073 | 1,711 | 2,183 | 10,817 | 13,801 | 22,007 | 63,307 | 400,229 | 638,203 | 814,259 | 23,613,511 |
| -1 | -29 | -37 | -59 | -373 | -1,073 | -1,711 | -2,183 | -10,817 | -13,801 | -22,007 | -63,307 | -400,229 | -638,203 | -814,259 | -23,613,511 |
