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 24,352,105, 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 | 24,352,105 | |
| -1 | -24,352,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,352,105.
Example:
1 x 24,352,105 = 24,352,105
and
-1 x -24,352,105 = 24,352,105
Notice both answers equal 24,352,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,352,105 and divide it by 2:
24,352,105 ÷ 2 = 12,176,052.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,176,052.5 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 | 24,352,105 | |
| -1 | -24,352,105 |
Now, we try dividing 24,352,105 by 3:
24,352,105 ÷ 3 = 8,117,368.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,117,368.3333 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 | 24,352,105 | |
| -1 | -24,352,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,352,105 ÷ 4 = 6,088,026.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,088,026.25 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 | 24,352,105 | |
| -1 | 24,352,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 139 | 185 | 695 | 947 | 4,735 | 5,143 | 25,715 | 35,039 | 131,633 | 175,195 | 658,165 | 4,870,421 | 24,352,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -139 | -185 | -695 | -947 | -4,735 | -5,143 | -25,715 | -35,039 | -131,633 | -175,195 | -658,165 | -4,870,421 | -24,352,105 |
