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 24,025,795, 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 | 24,025,795 | |
| -1 | -24,025,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,025,795.
Example:
1 x 24,025,795 = 24,025,795
and
-1 x -24,025,795 = 24,025,795
Notice both answers equal 24,025,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,025,795 and divide it by 2:
24,025,795 ÷ 2 = 12,012,897.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,012,897.5 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 | 24,025,795 | |
| -1 | -24,025,795 |
Now, we try dividing 24,025,795 by 3:
24,025,795 ÷ 3 = 8,008,598.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,008,598.3333 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 | 24,025,795 | |
| -1 | -24,025,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,025,795 ÷ 4 = 6,006,448.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,006,448.75 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 | 24,025,795 | |
| -1 | 24,025,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 205 | 233 | 503 | 1,165 | 2,515 | 9,553 | 20,623 | 47,765 | 103,115 | 117,199 | 585,995 | 4,805,159 | 24,025,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -205 | -233 | -503 | -1,165 | -2,515 | -9,553 | -20,623 | -47,765 | -103,115 | -117,199 | -585,995 | -4,805,159 | -24,025,795 |
