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 24,334,429, 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 | 24,334,429 | |
| -1 | -24,334,429 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,334,429.
Example:
1 x 24,334,429 = 24,334,429
and
-1 x -24,334,429 = 24,334,429
Notice both answers equal 24,334,429
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,334,429 and divide it by 2:
24,334,429 ÷ 2 = 12,167,214.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,167,214.5 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 | 24,334,429 | |
| -1 | -24,334,429 |
Now, we try dividing 24,334,429 by 3:
24,334,429 ÷ 3 = 8,111,476.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,111,476.3333 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 | 24,334,429 | |
| -1 | -24,334,429 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,334,429 ÷ 4 = 6,083,607.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,083,607.25 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 | 24,334,429 | |
| -1 | 24,334,429 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 49 | 119 | 131 | 223 | 833 | 917 | 1,561 | 2,227 | 3,791 | 6,419 | 10,927 | 15,589 | 26,537 | 29,213 | 109,123 | 185,759 | 204,491 | 496,621 | 1,431,437 | 3,476,347 | 24,334,429 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -49 | -119 | -131 | -223 | -833 | -917 | -1,561 | -2,227 | -3,791 | -6,419 | -10,927 | -15,589 | -26,537 | -29,213 | -109,123 | -185,759 | -204,491 | -496,621 | -1,431,437 | -3,476,347 | -24,334,429 |
