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 24,104,135, 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 | 24,104,135 | |
| -1 | -24,104,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,104,135.
Example:
1 x 24,104,135 = 24,104,135
and
-1 x -24,104,135 = 24,104,135
Notice both answers equal 24,104,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,104,135 and divide it by 2:
24,104,135 ÷ 2 = 12,052,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,052,067.5 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 | 24,104,135 | |
| -1 | -24,104,135 |
Now, we try dividing 24,104,135 by 3:
24,104,135 ÷ 3 = 8,034,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,034,711.6667 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 | 24,104,135 | |
| -1 | -24,104,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,104,135 ÷ 4 = 6,026,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,026,033.75 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 | 24,104,135 | |
| -1 | 24,104,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 2,915 | 8,269 | 41,345 | 90,959 | 438,257 | 454,795 | 2,191,285 | 4,820,827 | 24,104,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -2,915 | -8,269 | -41,345 | -90,959 | -438,257 | -454,795 | -2,191,285 | -4,820,827 | -24,104,135 |
