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 24,328,255, 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 | 24,328,255 | |
| -1 | -24,328,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,328,255.
Example:
1 x 24,328,255 = 24,328,255
and
-1 x -24,328,255 = 24,328,255
Notice both answers equal 24,328,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,328,255 and divide it by 2:
24,328,255 ÷ 2 = 12,164,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,164,127.5 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 | 24,328,255 | |
| -1 | -24,328,255 |
Now, we try dividing 24,328,255 by 3:
24,328,255 ÷ 3 = 8,109,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,109,418.3333 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 | 24,328,255 | |
| -1 | -24,328,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,328,255 ÷ 4 = 6,082,063.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,082,063.75 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 | 24,328,255 | |
| -1 | 24,328,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 109 | 245 | 545 | 763 | 911 | 3,815 | 4,555 | 5,341 | 6,377 | 26,705 | 31,885 | 44,639 | 99,299 | 223,195 | 496,495 | 695,093 | 3,475,465 | 4,865,651 | 24,328,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -109 | -245 | -545 | -763 | -911 | -3,815 | -4,555 | -5,341 | -6,377 | -26,705 | -31,885 | -44,639 | -99,299 | -223,195 | -496,495 | -695,093 | -3,475,465 | -4,865,651 | -24,328,255 |
