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 23,624,645, 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 | 23,624,645 | |
| -1 | -23,624,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,624,645.
Example:
1 x 23,624,645 = 23,624,645
and
-1 x -23,624,645 = 23,624,645
Notice both answers equal 23,624,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,624,645 and divide it by 2:
23,624,645 ÷ 2 = 11,812,322.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,812,322.5 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 | 23,624,645 | |
| -1 | -23,624,645 |
Now, we try dividing 23,624,645 by 3:
23,624,645 ÷ 3 = 7,874,881.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,874,881.6667 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 | 23,624,645 | |
| -1 | -23,624,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,624,645 ÷ 4 = 5,906,161.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,906,161.25 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 | 23,624,645 | |
| -1 | 23,624,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 121 | 187 | 605 | 935 | 2,057 | 2,297 | 10,285 | 11,485 | 25,267 | 39,049 | 126,335 | 195,245 | 277,937 | 429,539 | 1,389,685 | 2,147,695 | 4,724,929 | 23,624,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -121 | -187 | -605 | -935 | -2,057 | -2,297 | -10,285 | -11,485 | -25,267 | -39,049 | -126,335 | -195,245 | -277,937 | -429,539 | -1,389,685 | -2,147,695 | -4,724,929 | -23,624,645 |
