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 24,045,041, 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 | 24,045,041 | |
| -1 | -24,045,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,045,041.
Example:
1 x 24,045,041 = 24,045,041
and
-1 x -24,045,041 = 24,045,041
Notice both answers equal 24,045,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,045,041 and divide it by 2:
24,045,041 ÷ 2 = 12,022,520.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,022,520.5 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 | 24,045,041 | |
| -1 | -24,045,041 |
Now, we try dividing 24,045,041 by 3:
24,045,041 ÷ 3 = 8,015,013.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,015,013.6667 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 | 24,045,041 | |
| -1 | -24,045,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,045,041 ÷ 4 = 6,011,260.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,011,260.25 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 | 24,045,041 | |
| -1 | 24,045,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 43 | 61 | 89 | 103 | 2,623 | 3,827 | 4,429 | 5,429 | 6,283 | 9,167 | 233,447 | 270,169 | 394,181 | 559,187 | 24,045,041 |
| -1 | -43 | -61 | -89 | -103 | -2,623 | -3,827 | -4,429 | -5,429 | -6,283 | -9,167 | -233,447 | -270,169 | -394,181 | -559,187 | -24,045,041 |
