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 24,331,175, 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 | 24,331,175 | |
| -1 | -24,331,175 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,331,175.
Example:
1 x 24,331,175 = 24,331,175
and
-1 x -24,331,175 = 24,331,175
Notice both answers equal 24,331,175
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,331,175 and divide it by 2:
24,331,175 ÷ 2 = 12,165,587.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,165,587.5 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 | 24,331,175 | |
| -1 | -24,331,175 |
Now, we try dividing 24,331,175 by 3:
24,331,175 ÷ 3 = 8,110,391.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,110,391.6667 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 | 24,331,175 | |
| -1 | -24,331,175 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,331,175 ÷ 4 = 6,082,793.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,082,793.75 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 | 24,331,175 | |
| -1 | 24,331,175 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 103 | 275 | 515 | 859 | 1,133 | 2,575 | 4,295 | 5,665 | 9,449 | 21,475 | 28,325 | 47,245 | 88,477 | 236,225 | 442,385 | 973,247 | 2,211,925 | 4,866,235 | 24,331,175 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -103 | -275 | -515 | -859 | -1,133 | -2,575 | -4,295 | -5,665 | -9,449 | -21,475 | -28,325 | -47,245 | -88,477 | -236,225 | -442,385 | -973,247 | -2,211,925 | -4,866,235 | -24,331,175 |
