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 24,363,395, 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 | 24,363,395 | |
| -1 | -24,363,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,363,395.
Example:
1 x 24,363,395 = 24,363,395
and
-1 x -24,363,395 = 24,363,395
Notice both answers equal 24,363,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,363,395 and divide it by 2:
24,363,395 ÷ 2 = 12,181,697.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,181,697.5 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 | 24,363,395 | |
| -1 | -24,363,395 |
Now, we try dividing 24,363,395 by 3:
24,363,395 ÷ 3 = 8,121,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,121,131.6667 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 | 24,363,395 | |
| -1 | -24,363,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,363,395 ÷ 4 = 6,090,848.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,090,848.75 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 | 24,363,395 | |
| -1 | 24,363,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 137 | 685 | 959 | 4,795 | 5,081 | 25,405 | 35,567 | 177,835 | 696,097 | 3,480,485 | 4,872,679 | 24,363,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -137 | -685 | -959 | -4,795 | -5,081 | -25,405 | -35,567 | -177,835 | -696,097 | -3,480,485 | -4,872,679 | -24,363,395 |
