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 23,613,733, 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 | 23,613,733 | |
| -1 | -23,613,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,613,733.
Example:
1 x 23,613,733 = 23,613,733
and
-1 x -23,613,733 = 23,613,733
Notice both answers equal 23,613,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,613,733 and divide it by 2:
23,613,733 ÷ 2 = 11,806,866.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,806,866.5 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 | 23,613,733 | |
| -1 | -23,613,733 |
Now, we try dividing 23,613,733 by 3:
23,613,733 ÷ 3 = 7,871,244.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,871,244.3333 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 | 23,613,733 | |
| -1 | -23,613,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,613,733 ÷ 4 = 5,903,433.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,903,433.25 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 | 23,613,733 | |
| -1 | 23,613,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 37 | 143 | 407 | 481 | 4,463 | 5,291 | 49,093 | 58,019 | 165,131 | 638,209 | 1,816,441 | 2,146,703 | 23,613,733 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -37 | -143 | -407 | -481 | -4,463 | -5,291 | -49,093 | -58,019 | -165,131 | -638,209 | -1,816,441 | -2,146,703 | -23,613,733 |
