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 24,532,453, 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 | 24,532,453 | |
| -1 | -24,532,453 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,532,453.
Example:
1 x 24,532,453 = 24,532,453
and
-1 x -24,532,453 = 24,532,453
Notice both answers equal 24,532,453
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,532,453 and divide it by 2:
24,532,453 ÷ 2 = 12,266,226.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,266,226.5 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 | 24,532,453 | |
| -1 | -24,532,453 |
Now, we try dividing 24,532,453 by 3:
24,532,453 ÷ 3 = 8,177,484.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,177,484.3333 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 | 24,532,453 | |
| -1 | -24,532,453 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,532,453 ÷ 4 = 6,133,113.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,133,113.25 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 | 24,532,453 | |
| -1 | 24,532,453 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 73 | 137 | 223 | 803 | 1,507 | 2,453 | 10,001 | 16,279 | 30,551 | 110,011 | 179,069 | 336,061 | 2,230,223 | 24,532,453 |
| -1 | -11 | -73 | -137 | -223 | -803 | -1,507 | -2,453 | -10,001 | -16,279 | -30,551 | -110,011 | -179,069 | -336,061 | -2,230,223 | -24,532,453 |
