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 24,222,803, 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 | 24,222,803 | |
| -1 | -24,222,803 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,222,803.
Example:
1 x 24,222,803 = 24,222,803
and
-1 x -24,222,803 = 24,222,803
Notice both answers equal 24,222,803
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,222,803 and divide it by 2:
24,222,803 ÷ 2 = 12,111,401.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,111,401.5 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 | 24,222,803 | |
| -1 | -24,222,803 |
Now, we try dividing 24,222,803 by 3:
24,222,803 ÷ 3 = 8,074,267.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,074,267.6667 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 | 24,222,803 | |
| -1 | -24,222,803 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,222,803 ÷ 4 = 6,055,700.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,055,700.75 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 | 24,222,803 | |
| -1 | 24,222,803 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 43 | 83 | 473 | 617 | 913 | 3,569 | 6,787 | 26,531 | 39,259 | 51,211 | 291,841 | 563,321 | 2,202,073 | 24,222,803 |
| -1 | -11 | -43 | -83 | -473 | -617 | -913 | -3,569 | -6,787 | -26,531 | -39,259 | -51,211 | -291,841 | -563,321 | -2,202,073 | -24,222,803 |
