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 24,143,195, 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 | 24,143,195 | |
| -1 | -24,143,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,143,195.
Example:
1 x 24,143,195 = 24,143,195
and
-1 x -24,143,195 = 24,143,195
Notice both answers equal 24,143,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,143,195 and divide it by 2:
24,143,195 ÷ 2 = 12,071,597.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,071,597.5 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 | 24,143,195 | |
| -1 | -24,143,195 |
Now, we try dividing 24,143,195 by 3:
24,143,195 ÷ 3 = 8,047,731.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,047,731.6667 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 | 24,143,195 | |
| -1 | -24,143,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,143,195 ÷ 4 = 6,035,798.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,035,798.75 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 | 24,143,195 | |
| -1 | 24,143,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 71 | 235 | 355 | 1,447 | 3,337 | 7,235 | 16,685 | 68,009 | 102,737 | 340,045 | 513,685 | 4,828,639 | 24,143,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -71 | -235 | -355 | -1,447 | -3,337 | -7,235 | -16,685 | -68,009 | -102,737 | -340,045 | -513,685 | -4,828,639 | -24,143,195 |
