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 24,054,065, 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 | 24,054,065 | |
| -1 | -24,054,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,054,065.
Example:
1 x 24,054,065 = 24,054,065
and
-1 x -24,054,065 = 24,054,065
Notice both answers equal 24,054,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,054,065 and divide it by 2:
24,054,065 ÷ 2 = 12,027,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,027,032.5 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 | 24,054,065 | |
| -1 | -24,054,065 |
Now, we try dividing 24,054,065 by 3:
24,054,065 ÷ 3 = 8,018,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,018,021.6667 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 | 24,054,065 | |
| -1 | -24,054,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,054,065 ÷ 4 = 6,013,516.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,013,516.25 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 | 24,054,065 | |
| -1 | 24,054,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 40,427 | 202,135 | 282,989 | 687,259 | 1,414,945 | 3,436,295 | 4,810,813 | 24,054,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -40,427 | -202,135 | -282,989 | -687,259 | -1,414,945 | -3,436,295 | -4,810,813 | -24,054,065 |
