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 24,237,475, 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 | 24,237,475 | |
| -1 | -24,237,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,237,475.
Example:
1 x 24,237,475 = 24,237,475
and
-1 x -24,237,475 = 24,237,475
Notice both answers equal 24,237,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,237,475 and divide it by 2:
24,237,475 ÷ 2 = 12,118,737.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,118,737.5 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 | 24,237,475 | |
| -1 | -24,237,475 |
Now, we try dividing 24,237,475 by 3:
24,237,475 ÷ 3 = 8,079,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,079,158.3333 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 | 24,237,475 | |
| -1 | -24,237,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,237,475 ÷ 4 = 6,059,368.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,059,368.75 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 | 24,237,475 | |
| -1 | 24,237,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 101 | 145 | 331 | 505 | 725 | 1,655 | 2,525 | 2,929 | 8,275 | 9,599 | 14,645 | 33,431 | 47,995 | 73,225 | 167,155 | 239,975 | 835,775 | 969,499 | 4,847,495 | 24,237,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -101 | -145 | -331 | -505 | -725 | -1,655 | -2,525 | -2,929 | -8,275 | -9,599 | -14,645 | -33,431 | -47,995 | -73,225 | -167,155 | -239,975 | -835,775 | -969,499 | -4,847,495 | -24,237,475 |
