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 24,351,503, 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 | 24,351,503 | |
| -1 | -24,351,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,351,503.
Example:
1 x 24,351,503 = 24,351,503
and
-1 x -24,351,503 = 24,351,503
Notice both answers equal 24,351,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,351,503 and divide it by 2:
24,351,503 ÷ 2 = 12,175,751.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,175,751.5 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 | 24,351,503 | |
| -1 | -24,351,503 |
Now, we try dividing 24,351,503 by 3:
24,351,503 ÷ 3 = 8,117,167.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,117,167.6667 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 | 24,351,503 | |
| -1 | -24,351,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,351,503 ÷ 4 = 6,087,875.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,087,875.75 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 | 24,351,503 | |
| -1 | 24,351,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 29 | 253 | 319 | 667 | 3,319 | 7,337 | 36,509 | 76,337 | 96,251 | 839,707 | 1,058,761 | 2,213,773 | 24,351,503 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -29 | -253 | -319 | -667 | -3,319 | -7,337 | -36,509 | -76,337 | -96,251 | -839,707 | -1,058,761 | -2,213,773 | -24,351,503 |
