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 24,553,111, 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 | 24,553,111 | |
| -1 | -24,553,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,553,111.
Example:
1 x 24,553,111 = 24,553,111
and
-1 x -24,553,111 = 24,553,111
Notice both answers equal 24,553,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,553,111 and divide it by 2:
24,553,111 ÷ 2 = 12,276,555.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,276,555.5 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 | 24,553,111 | |
| -1 | -24,553,111 |
Now, we try dividing 24,553,111 by 3:
24,553,111 ÷ 3 = 8,184,370.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,184,370.3333 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 | 24,553,111 | |
| -1 | -24,553,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,553,111 ÷ 4 = 6,138,277.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,138,277.75 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 | 24,553,111 | |
| -1 | 24,553,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 29 | 209 | 319 | 551 | 4,051 | 6,061 | 44,561 | 76,969 | 117,479 | 846,659 | 1,292,269 | 2,232,101 | 24,553,111 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -29 | -209 | -319 | -551 | -4,051 | -6,061 | -44,561 | -76,969 | -117,479 | -846,659 | -1,292,269 | -2,232,101 | -24,553,111 |
