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 24,052,745, 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 | 24,052,745 | |
| -1 | -24,052,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,052,745.
Example:
1 x 24,052,745 = 24,052,745
and
-1 x -24,052,745 = 24,052,745
Notice both answers equal 24,052,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,052,745 and divide it by 2:
24,052,745 ÷ 2 = 12,026,372.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,026,372.5 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 | 24,052,745 | |
| -1 | -24,052,745 |
Now, we try dividing 24,052,745 by 3:
24,052,745 ÷ 3 = 8,017,581.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,017,581.6667 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 | 24,052,745 | |
| -1 | -24,052,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,052,745 ÷ 4 = 6,013,186.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,013,186.25 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 | 24,052,745 | |
| -1 | 24,052,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 31 | 145 | 155 | 899 | 4,495 | 5,351 | 26,755 | 155,179 | 165,881 | 775,895 | 829,405 | 4,810,549 | 24,052,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -31 | -145 | -155 | -899 | -4,495 | -5,351 | -26,755 | -155,179 | -165,881 | -775,895 | -829,405 | -4,810,549 | -24,052,745 |
