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 24,024,553, 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 | 24,024,553 | |
| -1 | -24,024,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,024,553.
Example:
1 x 24,024,553 = 24,024,553
and
-1 x -24,024,553 = 24,024,553
Notice both answers equal 24,024,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,024,553 and divide it by 2:
24,024,553 ÷ 2 = 12,012,276.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,012,276.5 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 | 24,024,553 | |
| -1 | -24,024,553 |
Now, we try dividing 24,024,553 by 3:
24,024,553 ÷ 3 = 8,008,184.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,008,184.3333 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 | 24,024,553 | |
| -1 | -24,024,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,024,553 ÷ 4 = 6,006,138.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,006,138.25 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 | 24,024,553 | |
| -1 | 24,024,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 49 | 119 | 151 | 191 | 833 | 1,057 | 1,337 | 2,567 | 3,247 | 7,399 | 9,359 | 17,969 | 22,729 | 28,841 | 125,783 | 159,103 | 201,887 | 490,297 | 1,413,209 | 3,432,079 | 24,024,553 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -49 | -119 | -151 | -191 | -833 | -1,057 | -1,337 | -2,567 | -3,247 | -7,399 | -9,359 | -17,969 | -22,729 | -28,841 | -125,783 | -159,103 | -201,887 | -490,297 | -1,413,209 | -3,432,079 | -24,024,553 |
