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 24,477,355, 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 | 24,477,355 | |
| -1 | -24,477,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,477,355.
Example:
1 x 24,477,355 = 24,477,355
and
-1 x -24,477,355 = 24,477,355
Notice both answers equal 24,477,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,477,355 and divide it by 2:
24,477,355 ÷ 2 = 12,238,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,238,677.5 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 | 24,477,355 | |
| -1 | -24,477,355 |
Now, we try dividing 24,477,355 by 3:
24,477,355 ÷ 3 = 8,159,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,159,118.3333 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 | 24,477,355 | |
| -1 | -24,477,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,477,355 ÷ 4 = 6,119,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,119,338.75 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 | 24,477,355 | |
| -1 | 24,477,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 179 | 895 | 1,253 | 3,907 | 6,265 | 19,535 | 27,349 | 136,745 | 699,353 | 3,496,765 | 4,895,471 | 24,477,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -179 | -895 | -1,253 | -3,907 | -6,265 | -19,535 | -27,349 | -136,745 | -699,353 | -3,496,765 | -4,895,471 | -24,477,355 |
