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 24,029,483, 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 | 24,029,483 | |
| -1 | -24,029,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,029,483.
Example:
1 x 24,029,483 = 24,029,483
and
-1 x -24,029,483 = 24,029,483
Notice both answers equal 24,029,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,029,483 and divide it by 2:
24,029,483 ÷ 2 = 12,014,741.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,014,741.5 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 | 24,029,483 | |
| -1 | -24,029,483 |
Now, we try dividing 24,029,483 by 3:
24,029,483 ÷ 3 = 8,009,827.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,009,827.6667 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 | 24,029,483 | |
| -1 | -24,029,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,029,483 ÷ 4 = 6,007,370.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,007,370.75 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 | 24,029,483 | |
| -1 | 24,029,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 67 | 73 | 289 | 1,139 | 1,241 | 4,891 | 4,913 | 19,363 | 21,097 | 83,147 | 329,171 | 358,649 | 1,413,499 | 24,029,483 |
| -1 | -17 | -67 | -73 | -289 | -1,139 | -1,241 | -4,891 | -4,913 | -19,363 | -21,097 | -83,147 | -329,171 | -358,649 | -1,413,499 | -24,029,483 |
