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 24,306,263, 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 | 24,306,263 | |
| -1 | -24,306,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,306,263.
Example:
1 x 24,306,263 = 24,306,263
and
-1 x -24,306,263 = 24,306,263
Notice both answers equal 24,306,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,306,263 and divide it by 2:
24,306,263 ÷ 2 = 12,153,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,153,131.5 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 | 24,306,263 | |
| -1 | -24,306,263 |
Now, we try dividing 24,306,263 by 3:
24,306,263 ÷ 3 = 8,102,087.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,102,087.6667 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 | 24,306,263 | |
| -1 | -24,306,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,306,263 ÷ 4 = 6,076,565.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,076,565.75 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 | 24,306,263 | |
| -1 | 24,306,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 31 | 551 | 589 | 899 | 1,423 | 17,081 | 27,037 | 41,267 | 44,113 | 784,073 | 838,147 | 1,279,277 | 24,306,263 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -31 | -551 | -589 | -899 | -1,423 | -17,081 | -27,037 | -41,267 | -44,113 | -784,073 | -838,147 | -1,279,277 | -24,306,263 |
