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 24,133,435, 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 | 24,133,435 | |
| -1 | -24,133,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,133,435.
Example:
1 x 24,133,435 = 24,133,435
and
-1 x -24,133,435 = 24,133,435
Notice both answers equal 24,133,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,133,435 and divide it by 2:
24,133,435 ÷ 2 = 12,066,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,066,717.5 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 | 24,133,435 | |
| -1 | -24,133,435 |
Now, we try dividing 24,133,435 by 3:
24,133,435 ÷ 3 = 8,044,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,044,478.3333 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 | 24,133,435 | |
| -1 | -24,133,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,133,435 ÷ 4 = 6,033,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,033,358.75 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 | 24,133,435 | |
| -1 | 24,133,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 73 | 185 | 365 | 1,787 | 2,701 | 8,935 | 13,505 | 66,119 | 130,451 | 330,595 | 652,255 | 4,826,687 | 24,133,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -73 | -185 | -365 | -1,787 | -2,701 | -8,935 | -13,505 | -66,119 | -130,451 | -330,595 | -652,255 | -4,826,687 | -24,133,435 |
