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 24,202,013, 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 | 24,202,013 | |
| -1 | -24,202,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,202,013.
Example:
1 x 24,202,013 = 24,202,013
and
-1 x -24,202,013 = 24,202,013
Notice both answers equal 24,202,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,202,013 and divide it by 2:
24,202,013 ÷ 2 = 12,101,006.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,101,006.5 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 | 24,202,013 | |
| -1 | -24,202,013 |
Now, we try dividing 24,202,013 by 3:
24,202,013 ÷ 3 = 8,067,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,067,337.6667 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 | 24,202,013 | |
| -1 | -24,202,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,202,013 ÷ 4 = 6,050,503.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,050,503.25 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 | 24,202,013 | |
| -1 | 24,202,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 103 | 451 | 521 | 1,133 | 4,223 | 5,731 | 21,361 | 46,453 | 53,663 | 234,971 | 590,293 | 2,200,183 | 24,202,013 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -103 | -451 | -521 | -1,133 | -4,223 | -5,731 | -21,361 | -46,453 | -53,663 | -234,971 | -590,293 | -2,200,183 | -24,202,013 |
