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 23,755,405, 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 | 23,755,405 | |
| -1 | -23,755,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,755,405.
Example:
1 x 23,755,405 = 23,755,405
and
-1 x -23,755,405 = 23,755,405
Notice both answers equal 23,755,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,755,405 and divide it by 2:
23,755,405 ÷ 2 = 11,877,702.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,877,702.5 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 | 23,755,405 | |
| -1 | -23,755,405 |
Now, we try dividing 23,755,405 by 3:
23,755,405 ÷ 3 = 7,918,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,918,468.3333 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 | 23,755,405 | |
| -1 | -23,755,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,755,405 ÷ 4 = 5,938,851.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,938,851.25 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 | 23,755,405 | |
| -1 | 23,755,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 103 | 193 | 239 | 515 | 965 | 1,195 | 19,879 | 24,617 | 46,127 | 99,395 | 123,085 | 230,635 | 4,751,081 | 23,755,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -103 | -193 | -239 | -515 | -965 | -1,195 | -19,879 | -24,617 | -46,127 | -99,395 | -123,085 | -230,635 | -4,751,081 | -23,755,405 |
