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 24,105,035, 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 | 24,105,035 | |
| -1 | -24,105,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,105,035.
Example:
1 x 24,105,035 = 24,105,035
and
-1 x -24,105,035 = 24,105,035
Notice both answers equal 24,105,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,105,035 and divide it by 2:
24,105,035 ÷ 2 = 12,052,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,052,517.5 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 | 24,105,035 | |
| -1 | -24,105,035 |
Now, we try dividing 24,105,035 by 3:
24,105,035 ÷ 3 = 8,035,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,035,011.6667 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 | 24,105,035 | |
| -1 | -24,105,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,105,035 ÷ 4 = 6,026,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,026,258.75 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 | 24,105,035 | |
| -1 | 24,105,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 179 | 895 | 1,171 | 4,117 | 5,855 | 20,585 | 26,933 | 134,665 | 209,609 | 1,048,045 | 4,821,007 | 24,105,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -179 | -895 | -1,171 | -4,117 | -5,855 | -20,585 | -26,933 | -134,665 | -209,609 | -1,048,045 | -4,821,007 | -24,105,035 |
