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 24,482,777, 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 | 24,482,777 | |
| -1 | -24,482,777 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,482,777.
Example:
1 x 24,482,777 = 24,482,777
and
-1 x -24,482,777 = 24,482,777
Notice both answers equal 24,482,777
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,482,777 and divide it by 2:
24,482,777 ÷ 2 = 12,241,388.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,241,388.5 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 | 24,482,777 | |
| -1 | -24,482,777 |
Now, we try dividing 24,482,777 by 3:
24,482,777 ÷ 3 = 8,160,925.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,160,925.6667 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 | 24,482,777 | |
| -1 | -24,482,777 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,482,777 ÷ 4 = 6,120,694.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,120,694.25 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 | 24,482,777 | |
| -1 | 24,482,777 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 61 | 107 | 121 | 341 | 671 | 1,177 | 1,891 | 3,317 | 3,751 | 6,527 | 7,381 | 12,947 | 20,801 | 36,487 | 71,797 | 202,337 | 228,811 | 401,357 | 789,767 | 2,225,707 | 24,482,777 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -61 | -107 | -121 | -341 | -671 | -1,177 | -1,891 | -3,317 | -3,751 | -6,527 | -7,381 | -12,947 | -20,801 | -36,487 | -71,797 | -202,337 | -228,811 | -401,357 | -789,767 | -2,225,707 | -24,482,777 |
