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 24,424,225, 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 | 24,424,225 | |
| -1 | -24,424,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,424,225.
Example:
1 x 24,424,225 = 24,424,225
and
-1 x -24,424,225 = 24,424,225
Notice both answers equal 24,424,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,424,225 and divide it by 2:
24,424,225 ÷ 2 = 12,212,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,212,112.5 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 | 24,424,225 | |
| -1 | -24,424,225 |
Now, we try dividing 24,424,225 by 3:
24,424,225 ÷ 3 = 8,141,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,141,408.3333 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 | 24,424,225 | |
| -1 | -24,424,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,424,225 ÷ 4 = 6,106,056.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,106,056.25 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 | 24,424,225 | |
| -1 | 24,424,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 175 | 233 | 599 | 1,165 | 1,631 | 2,995 | 4,193 | 5,825 | 8,155 | 14,975 | 20,965 | 40,775 | 104,825 | 139,567 | 697,835 | 976,969 | 3,489,175 | 4,884,845 | 24,424,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -175 | -233 | -599 | -1,165 | -1,631 | -2,995 | -4,193 | -5,825 | -8,155 | -14,975 | -20,965 | -40,775 | -104,825 | -139,567 | -697,835 | -976,969 | -3,489,175 | -4,884,845 | -24,424,225 |
