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 23,614,507, 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 | 23,614,507 | |
| -1 | -23,614,507 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,614,507.
Example:
1 x 23,614,507 = 23,614,507
and
-1 x -23,614,507 = 23,614,507
Notice both answers equal 23,614,507
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,614,507 and divide it by 2:
23,614,507 ÷ 2 = 11,807,253.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,807,253.5 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 | 23,614,507 | |
| -1 | -23,614,507 |
Now, we try dividing 23,614,507 by 3:
23,614,507 ÷ 3 = 7,871,502.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,871,502.3333 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 | 23,614,507 | |
| -1 | -23,614,507 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,614,507 ÷ 4 = 5,903,626.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,903,626.75 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 | 23,614,507 | |
| -1 | 23,614,507 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 101 | 127 | 263 | 707 | 889 | 1,841 | 12,827 | 26,563 | 33,401 | 89,789 | 185,941 | 233,807 | 3,373,501 | 23,614,507 |
| -1 | -7 | -101 | -127 | -263 | -707 | -889 | -1,841 | -12,827 | -26,563 | -33,401 | -89,789 | -185,941 | -233,807 | -3,373,501 | -23,614,507 |
