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 24,227,525, 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 | 24,227,525 | |
| -1 | -24,227,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,227,525.
Example:
1 x 24,227,525 = 24,227,525
and
-1 x -24,227,525 = 24,227,525
Notice both answers equal 24,227,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,227,525 and divide it by 2:
24,227,525 ÷ 2 = 12,113,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,113,762.5 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 | 24,227,525 | |
| -1 | -24,227,525 |
Now, we try dividing 24,227,525 by 3:
24,227,525 ÷ 3 = 8,075,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,075,841.6667 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 | 24,227,525 | |
| -1 | -24,227,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,227,525 ÷ 4 = 6,056,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,056,881.25 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 | 24,227,525 | |
| -1 | 24,227,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 167 | 175 | 829 | 835 | 1,169 | 4,145 | 4,175 | 5,803 | 5,845 | 20,725 | 29,015 | 29,225 | 138,443 | 145,075 | 692,215 | 969,101 | 3,461,075 | 4,845,505 | 24,227,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -167 | -175 | -829 | -835 | -1,169 | -4,145 | -4,175 | -5,803 | -5,845 | -20,725 | -29,015 | -29,225 | -138,443 | -145,075 | -692,215 | -969,101 | -3,461,075 | -4,845,505 | -24,227,525 |
