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 24,103,235, 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 | 24,103,235 | |
| -1 | -24,103,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,103,235.
Example:
1 x 24,103,235 = 24,103,235
and
-1 x -24,103,235 = 24,103,235
Notice both answers equal 24,103,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,103,235 and divide it by 2:
24,103,235 ÷ 2 = 12,051,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,051,617.5 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 | 24,103,235 | |
| -1 | -24,103,235 |
Now, we try dividing 24,103,235 by 3:
24,103,235 ÷ 3 = 8,034,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,034,411.6667 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 | 24,103,235 | |
| -1 | -24,103,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,103,235 ÷ 4 = 6,025,808.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,025,808.75 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 | 24,103,235 | |
| -1 | 24,103,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 61 | 65 | 305 | 793 | 3,965 | 6,079 | 30,395 | 79,027 | 370,819 | 395,135 | 1,854,095 | 4,820,647 | 24,103,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -61 | -65 | -305 | -793 | -3,965 | -6,079 | -30,395 | -79,027 | -370,819 | -395,135 | -1,854,095 | -4,820,647 | -24,103,235 |
