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 23,834,833, 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 | 23,834,833 | |
| -1 | -23,834,833 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 23,834,833.
Example:
1 x 23,834,833 = 23,834,833
and
-1 x -23,834,833 = 23,834,833
Notice both answers equal 23,834,833
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 23,834,833 and divide it by 2:
23,834,833 ÷ 2 = 11,917,416.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 11,917,416.5 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 | 23,834,833 | |
| -1 | -23,834,833 |
Now, we try dividing 23,834,833 by 3:
23,834,833 ÷ 3 = 7,944,944.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 7,944,944.3333 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 | 23,834,833 | |
| -1 | -23,834,833 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
23,834,833 ÷ 4 = 5,958,708.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 5,958,708.25 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 | 23,834,833 | |
| -1 | 23,834,833 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 187 | 197 | 647 | 2,167 | 3,349 | 7,117 | 10,999 | 36,839 | 120,989 | 127,459 | 1,402,049 | 2,166,803 | 23,834,833 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -187 | -197 | -647 | -2,167 | -3,349 | -7,117 | -10,999 | -36,839 | -120,989 | -127,459 | -1,402,049 | -2,166,803 | -23,834,833 |
