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 24,331,475, 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 | 24,331,475 | |
| -1 | -24,331,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,331,475.
Example:
1 x 24,331,475 = 24,331,475
and
-1 x -24,331,475 = 24,331,475
Notice both answers equal 24,331,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,331,475 and divide it by 2:
24,331,475 ÷ 2 = 12,165,737.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,165,737.5 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 | 24,331,475 | |
| -1 | -24,331,475 |
Now, we try dividing 24,331,475 by 3:
24,331,475 ÷ 3 = 8,110,491.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,110,491.6667 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 | 24,331,475 | |
| -1 | -24,331,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,331,475 ÷ 4 = 6,082,868.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,082,868.75 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 | 24,331,475 | |
| -1 | 24,331,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 175 | 257 | 541 | 1,285 | 1,799 | 2,705 | 3,787 | 6,425 | 8,995 | 13,525 | 18,935 | 44,975 | 94,675 | 139,037 | 695,185 | 973,259 | 3,475,925 | 4,866,295 | 24,331,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -175 | -257 | -541 | -1,285 | -1,799 | -2,705 | -3,787 | -6,425 | -8,995 | -13,525 | -18,935 | -44,975 | -94,675 | -139,037 | -695,185 | -973,259 | -3,475,925 | -4,866,295 | -24,331,475 |
