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 24,463,145, 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 | 24,463,145 | |
| -1 | -24,463,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,463,145.
Example:
1 x 24,463,145 = 24,463,145
and
-1 x -24,463,145 = 24,463,145
Notice both answers equal 24,463,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,463,145 and divide it by 2:
24,463,145 ÷ 2 = 12,231,572.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,231,572.5 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 | 24,463,145 | |
| -1 | -24,463,145 |
Now, we try dividing 24,463,145 by 3:
24,463,145 ÷ 3 = 8,154,381.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,154,381.6667 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 | 24,463,145 | |
| -1 | -24,463,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,463,145 ÷ 4 = 6,115,786.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,115,786.25 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 | 24,463,145 | |
| -1 | 24,463,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 30,389 | 151,945 | 212,723 | 698,947 | 1,063,615 | 3,494,735 | 4,892,629 | 24,463,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -30,389 | -151,945 | -212,723 | -698,947 | -1,063,615 | -3,494,735 | -4,892,629 | -24,463,145 |
