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 24,325,133, 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 | 24,325,133 | |
| -1 | -24,325,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,325,133.
Example:
1 x 24,325,133 = 24,325,133
and
-1 x -24,325,133 = 24,325,133
Notice both answers equal 24,325,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,325,133 and divide it by 2:
24,325,133 ÷ 2 = 12,162,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,162,566.5 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 | 24,325,133 | |
| -1 | -24,325,133 |
Now, we try dividing 24,325,133 by 3:
24,325,133 ÷ 3 = 8,108,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,108,377.6667 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 | 24,325,133 | |
| -1 | -24,325,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,325,133 ÷ 4 = 6,081,283.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,081,283.25 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 | 24,325,133 | |
| -1 | 24,325,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 181 | 263 | 511 | 1,267 | 1,841 | 13,213 | 19,199 | 47,603 | 92,491 | 134,393 | 333,221 | 3,475,019 | 24,325,133 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -181 | -263 | -511 | -1,267 | -1,841 | -13,213 | -19,199 | -47,603 | -92,491 | -134,393 | -333,221 | -3,475,019 | -24,325,133 |
