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 24,321,325, 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 | 24,321,325 | |
| -1 | -24,321,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,321,325.
Example:
1 x 24,321,325 = 24,321,325
and
-1 x -24,321,325 = 24,321,325
Notice both answers equal 24,321,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,321,325 and divide it by 2:
24,321,325 ÷ 2 = 12,160,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,160,662.5 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 | 24,321,325 | |
| -1 | -24,321,325 |
Now, we try dividing 24,321,325 by 3:
24,321,325 ÷ 3 = 8,107,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,107,108.3333 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 | 24,321,325 | |
| -1 | -24,321,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,321,325 ÷ 4 = 6,080,331.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,080,331.25 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 | 24,321,325 | |
| -1 | 24,321,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 47 | 175 | 235 | 329 | 1,175 | 1,645 | 2,957 | 8,225 | 14,785 | 20,699 | 73,925 | 103,495 | 138,979 | 517,475 | 694,895 | 972,853 | 3,474,475 | 4,864,265 | 24,321,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -47 | -175 | -235 | -329 | -1,175 | -1,645 | -2,957 | -8,225 | -14,785 | -20,699 | -73,925 | -103,495 | -138,979 | -517,475 | -694,895 | -972,853 | -3,474,475 | -4,864,265 | -24,321,325 |
