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 24,480,001, 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 | 24,480,001 | |
| -1 | -24,480,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,480,001.
Example:
1 x 24,480,001 = 24,480,001
and
-1 x -24,480,001 = 24,480,001
Notice both answers equal 24,480,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,480,001 and divide it by 2:
24,480,001 ÷ 2 = 12,240,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,240,000.5 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 | 24,480,001 | |
| -1 | -24,480,001 |
Now, we try dividing 24,480,001 by 3:
24,480,001 ÷ 3 = 8,160,000.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,160,000.3333 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 | 24,480,001 | |
| -1 | -24,480,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,480,001 ÷ 4 = 6,120,000.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,120,000.25 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 | 24,480,001 | |
| -1 | 24,480,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 367 | 733 | 2,569 | 4,771 | 5,131 | 9,529 | 33,397 | 66,703 | 269,011 | 1,883,077 | 3,497,143 | 24,480,001 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -367 | -733 | -2,569 | -4,771 | -5,131 | -9,529 | -33,397 | -66,703 | -269,011 | -1,883,077 | -3,497,143 | -24,480,001 |
