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 23,764,135, 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 | 23,764,135 | |
| -1 | -23,764,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,764,135.
Example:
1 x 23,764,135 = 23,764,135
and
-1 x -23,764,135 = 23,764,135
Notice both answers equal 23,764,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,764,135 and divide it by 2:
23,764,135 ÷ 2 = 11,882,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,882,067.5 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 | 23,764,135 | |
| -1 | -23,764,135 |
Now, we try dividing 23,764,135 by 3:
23,764,135 ÷ 3 = 7,921,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,921,378.3333 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 | 23,764,135 | |
| -1 | -23,764,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,764,135 ÷ 4 = 5,941,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,941,033.75 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 | 23,764,135 | |
| -1 | 23,764,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 139 | 155 | 695 | 1,103 | 4,309 | 5,515 | 21,545 | 34,193 | 153,317 | 170,965 | 766,585 | 4,752,827 | 23,764,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -139 | -155 | -695 | -1,103 | -4,309 | -5,515 | -21,545 | -34,193 | -153,317 | -170,965 | -766,585 | -4,752,827 | -23,764,135 |
