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 24,037,111, 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 | 24,037,111 | |
| -1 | -24,037,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,037,111.
Example:
1 x 24,037,111 = 24,037,111
and
-1 x -24,037,111 = 24,037,111
Notice both answers equal 24,037,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,037,111 and divide it by 2:
24,037,111 ÷ 2 = 12,018,555.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,018,555.5 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 | 24,037,111 | |
| -1 | -24,037,111 |
Now, we try dividing 24,037,111 by 3:
24,037,111 ÷ 3 = 8,012,370.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,012,370.3333 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 | 24,037,111 | |
| -1 | -24,037,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,037,111 ÷ 4 = 6,009,277.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,009,277.75 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 | 24,037,111 | |
| -1 | 24,037,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 61 | 287 | 427 | 1,373 | 2,501 | 9,611 | 17,507 | 56,293 | 83,753 | 394,051 | 586,271 | 3,433,873 | 24,037,111 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -61 | -287 | -427 | -1,373 | -2,501 | -9,611 | -17,507 | -56,293 | -83,753 | -394,051 | -586,271 | -3,433,873 | -24,037,111 |
