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 24,036,199, 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 | 24,036,199 | |
| -1 | -24,036,199 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,036,199.
Example:
1 x 24,036,199 = 24,036,199
and
-1 x -24,036,199 = 24,036,199
Notice both answers equal 24,036,199
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,036,199 and divide it by 2:
24,036,199 ÷ 2 = 12,018,099.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,018,099.5 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 | 24,036,199 | |
| -1 | -24,036,199 |
Now, we try dividing 24,036,199 by 3:
24,036,199 ÷ 3 = 8,012,066.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,012,066.3333 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 | 24,036,199 | |
| -1 | -24,036,199 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,036,199 ÷ 4 = 6,009,049.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,009,049.75 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 | 24,036,199 | |
| -1 | 24,036,199 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 37 | 73 | 407 | 803 | 809 | 2,701 | 8,899 | 29,711 | 29,933 | 59,057 | 329,263 | 649,627 | 2,185,109 | 24,036,199 |
| -1 | -11 | -37 | -73 | -407 | -803 | -809 | -2,701 | -8,899 | -29,711 | -29,933 | -59,057 | -329,263 | -649,627 | -2,185,109 | -24,036,199 |
