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 24,566,795, 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 | 24,566,795 | |
| -1 | -24,566,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,566,795.
Example:
1 x 24,566,795 = 24,566,795
and
-1 x -24,566,795 = 24,566,795
Notice both answers equal 24,566,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,566,795 and divide it by 2:
24,566,795 ÷ 2 = 12,283,397.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,283,397.5 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 | 24,566,795 | |
| -1 | -24,566,795 |
Now, we try dividing 24,566,795 by 3:
24,566,795 ÷ 3 = 8,188,931.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,188,931.6667 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 | 24,566,795 | |
| -1 | -24,566,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,566,795 ÷ 4 = 6,141,698.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,141,698.75 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 | 24,566,795 | |
| -1 | 24,566,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 223 | 1,115 | 2,003 | 2,453 | 10,015 | 12,265 | 22,033 | 110,165 | 446,669 | 2,233,345 | 4,913,359 | 24,566,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -223 | -1,115 | -2,003 | -2,453 | -10,015 | -12,265 | -22,033 | -110,165 | -446,669 | -2,233,345 | -4,913,359 | -24,566,795 |
