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 24,451,595, 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 | 24,451,595 | |
| -1 | -24,451,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,451,595.
Example:
1 x 24,451,595 = 24,451,595
and
-1 x -24,451,595 = 24,451,595
Notice both answers equal 24,451,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,451,595 and divide it by 2:
24,451,595 ÷ 2 = 12,225,797.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,225,797.5 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 | 24,451,595 | |
| -1 | -24,451,595 |
Now, we try dividing 24,451,595 by 3:
24,451,595 ÷ 3 = 8,150,531.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,150,531.6667 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 | 24,451,595 | |
| -1 | -24,451,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,451,595 ÷ 4 = 6,112,898.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,112,898.75 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 | 24,451,595 | |
| -1 | 24,451,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 101 | 505 | 707 | 3,535 | 6,917 | 34,585 | 48,419 | 242,095 | 698,617 | 3,493,085 | 4,890,319 | 24,451,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -101 | -505 | -707 | -3,535 | -6,917 | -34,585 | -48,419 | -242,095 | -698,617 | -3,493,085 | -4,890,319 | -24,451,595 |
