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 23,734,325, 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 | 23,734,325 | |
| -1 | -23,734,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,734,325.
Example:
1 x 23,734,325 = 23,734,325
and
-1 x -23,734,325 = 23,734,325
Notice both answers equal 23,734,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,734,325 and divide it by 2:
23,734,325 ÷ 2 = 11,867,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,867,162.5 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 | 23,734,325 | |
| -1 | -23,734,325 |
Now, we try dividing 23,734,325 by 3:
23,734,325 ÷ 3 = 7,911,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,911,441.6667 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 | 23,734,325 | |
| -1 | -23,734,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,734,325 ÷ 4 = 5,933,581.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,933,581.25 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 | 23,734,325 | |
| -1 | 23,734,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 29 | 95 | 145 | 475 | 551 | 725 | 1,723 | 2,755 | 8,615 | 13,775 | 32,737 | 43,075 | 49,967 | 163,685 | 249,835 | 818,425 | 949,373 | 1,249,175 | 4,746,865 | 23,734,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -29 | -95 | -145 | -475 | -551 | -725 | -1,723 | -2,755 | -8,615 | -13,775 | -32,737 | -43,075 | -49,967 | -163,685 | -249,835 | -818,425 | -949,373 | -1,249,175 | -4,746,865 | -23,734,325 |
