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 24,086,375, 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 | 24,086,375 | |
| -1 | -24,086,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,086,375.
Example:
1 x 24,086,375 = 24,086,375
and
-1 x -24,086,375 = 24,086,375
Notice both answers equal 24,086,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,086,375 and divide it by 2:
24,086,375 ÷ 2 = 12,043,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,043,187.5 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 | 24,086,375 | |
| -1 | -24,086,375 |
Now, we try dividing 24,086,375 by 3:
24,086,375 ÷ 3 = 8,028,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,028,791.6667 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 | 24,086,375 | |
| -1 | -24,086,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,086,375 ÷ 4 = 6,021,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,021,593.75 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 | 24,086,375 | |
| -1 | 24,086,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 233 | 827 | 1,165 | 4,135 | 5,825 | 20,675 | 29,125 | 103,375 | 192,691 | 963,455 | 4,817,275 | 24,086,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -233 | -827 | -1,165 | -4,135 | -5,825 | -20,675 | -29,125 | -103,375 | -192,691 | -963,455 | -4,817,275 | -24,086,375 |
