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 24,335,605, 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 | 24,335,605 | |
| -1 | -24,335,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,335,605.
Example:
1 x 24,335,605 = 24,335,605
and
-1 x -24,335,605 = 24,335,605
Notice both answers equal 24,335,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,335,605 and divide it by 2:
24,335,605 ÷ 2 = 12,167,802.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,167,802.5 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 | 24,335,605 | |
| -1 | -24,335,605 |
Now, we try dividing 24,335,605 by 3:
24,335,605 ÷ 3 = 8,111,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,111,868.3333 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 | 24,335,605 | |
| -1 | -24,335,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,335,605 ÷ 4 = 6,083,901.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,083,901.25 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 | 24,335,605 | |
| -1 | 24,335,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 71 | 245 | 355 | 497 | 1,399 | 2,485 | 3,479 | 6,995 | 9,793 | 17,395 | 48,965 | 68,551 | 99,329 | 342,755 | 496,645 | 695,303 | 3,476,515 | 4,867,121 | 24,335,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -71 | -245 | -355 | -497 | -1,399 | -2,485 | -3,479 | -6,995 | -9,793 | -17,395 | -48,965 | -68,551 | -99,329 | -342,755 | -496,645 | -695,303 | -3,476,515 | -4,867,121 | -24,335,605 |
