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 24,105,301, 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 | 24,105,301 | |
| -1 | -24,105,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,105,301.
Example:
1 x 24,105,301 = 24,105,301
and
-1 x -24,105,301 = 24,105,301
Notice both answers equal 24,105,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,105,301 and divide it by 2:
24,105,301 ÷ 2 = 12,052,650.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,052,650.5 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 | 24,105,301 | |
| -1 | -24,105,301 |
Now, we try dividing 24,105,301 by 3:
24,105,301 ÷ 3 = 8,035,100.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,035,100.3333 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 | 24,105,301 | |
| -1 | -24,105,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,105,301 ÷ 4 = 6,026,325.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,026,325.25 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 | 24,105,301 | |
| -1 | 24,105,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 173 | 239 | 583 | 1,903 | 2,629 | 9,169 | 12,667 | 41,347 | 100,859 | 139,337 | 454,817 | 2,191,391 | 24,105,301 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -173 | -239 | -583 | -1,903 | -2,629 | -9,169 | -12,667 | -41,347 | -100,859 | -139,337 | -454,817 | -2,191,391 | -24,105,301 |
