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 24,432,205, 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 | 24,432,205 | |
| -1 | -24,432,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,432,205.
Example:
1 x 24,432,205 = 24,432,205
and
-1 x -24,432,205 = 24,432,205
Notice both answers equal 24,432,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,432,205 and divide it by 2:
24,432,205 ÷ 2 = 12,216,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,216,102.5 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 | 24,432,205 | |
| -1 | -24,432,205 |
Now, we try dividing 24,432,205 by 3:
24,432,205 ÷ 3 = 8,144,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,144,068.3333 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 | 24,432,205 | |
| -1 | -24,432,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,432,205 ÷ 4 = 6,108,051.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,108,051.25 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 | 24,432,205 | |
| -1 | 24,432,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 53 | 265 | 371 | 1,855 | 13,171 | 65,855 | 92,197 | 460,985 | 698,063 | 3,490,315 | 4,886,441 | 24,432,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -53 | -265 | -371 | -1,855 | -13,171 | -65,855 | -92,197 | -460,985 | -698,063 | -3,490,315 | -4,886,441 | -24,432,205 |
