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 24,110,219, 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 | 24,110,219 | |
| -1 | -24,110,219 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,110,219.
Example:
1 x 24,110,219 = 24,110,219
and
-1 x -24,110,219 = 24,110,219
Notice both answers equal 24,110,219
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,110,219 and divide it by 2:
24,110,219 ÷ 2 = 12,055,109.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,055,109.5 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 | 24,110,219 | |
| -1 | -24,110,219 |
Now, we try dividing 24,110,219 by 3:
24,110,219 ÷ 3 = 8,036,739.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,036,739.6667 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 | 24,110,219 | |
| -1 | -24,110,219 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,110,219 ÷ 4 = 6,027,554.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,027,554.75 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 | 24,110,219 | |
| -1 | 24,110,219 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 137 | 217 | 811 | 959 | 4,247 | 5,677 | 25,141 | 29,729 | 111,107 | 175,987 | 777,749 | 3,444,317 | 24,110,219 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -137 | -217 | -811 | -959 | -4,247 | -5,677 | -25,141 | -29,729 | -111,107 | -175,987 | -777,749 | -3,444,317 | -24,110,219 |
