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 24,023,533, 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 | 24,023,533 | |
| -1 | -24,023,533 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,023,533.
Example:
1 x 24,023,533 = 24,023,533
and
-1 x -24,023,533 = 24,023,533
Notice both answers equal 24,023,533
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,023,533 and divide it by 2:
24,023,533 ÷ 2 = 12,011,766.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,011,766.5 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 | 24,023,533 | |
| -1 | -24,023,533 |
Now, we try dividing 24,023,533 by 3:
24,023,533 ÷ 3 = 8,007,844.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,007,844.3333 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 | 24,023,533 | |
| -1 | -24,023,533 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,023,533 ÷ 4 = 6,005,883.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,005,883.25 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 | 24,023,533 | |
| -1 | 24,023,533 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 47 | 107 | 281 | 799 | 1,819 | 4,777 | 5,029 | 13,207 | 30,067 | 85,493 | 224,519 | 511,139 | 1,413,149 | 24,023,533 |
| -1 | -17 | -47 | -107 | -281 | -799 | -1,819 | -4,777 | -5,029 | -13,207 | -30,067 | -85,493 | -224,519 | -511,139 | -1,413,149 | -24,023,533 |
