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 24,065,435, 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 | 24,065,435 | |
| -1 | -24,065,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,065,435.
Example:
1 x 24,065,435 = 24,065,435
and
-1 x -24,065,435 = 24,065,435
Notice both answers equal 24,065,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,065,435 and divide it by 2:
24,065,435 ÷ 2 = 12,032,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,032,717.5 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 | 24,065,435 | |
| -1 | -24,065,435 |
Now, we try dividing 24,065,435 by 3:
24,065,435 ÷ 3 = 8,021,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,021,811.6667 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 | 24,065,435 | |
| -1 | -24,065,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,065,435 ÷ 4 = 6,016,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,016,358.75 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 | 24,065,435 | |
| -1 | 24,065,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 83 | 103 | 415 | 515 | 563 | 2,815 | 8,549 | 42,745 | 46,729 | 57,989 | 233,645 | 289,945 | 4,813,087 | 24,065,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -83 | -103 | -415 | -515 | -563 | -2,815 | -8,549 | -42,745 | -46,729 | -57,989 | -233,645 | -289,945 | -4,813,087 | -24,065,435 |
