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 24,312,035, 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 | 24,312,035 | |
| -1 | -24,312,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,312,035.
Example:
1 x 24,312,035 = 24,312,035
and
-1 x -24,312,035 = 24,312,035
Notice both answers equal 24,312,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,312,035 and divide it by 2:
24,312,035 ÷ 2 = 12,156,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,156,017.5 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 | 24,312,035 | |
| -1 | -24,312,035 |
Now, we try dividing 24,312,035 by 3:
24,312,035 ÷ 3 = 8,104,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,104,011.6667 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 | 24,312,035 | |
| -1 | -24,312,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,312,035 ÷ 4 = 6,078,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,078,008.75 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 | 24,312,035 | |
| -1 | 24,312,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 55 | 115 | 253 | 1,265 | 19,219 | 96,095 | 211,409 | 442,037 | 1,057,045 | 2,210,185 | 4,862,407 | 24,312,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -55 | -115 | -253 | -1,265 | -19,219 | -96,095 | -211,409 | -442,037 | -1,057,045 | -2,210,185 | -4,862,407 | -24,312,035 |
