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 24,566,875, 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 | 24,566,875 | |
| -1 | -24,566,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,566,875.
Example:
1 x 24,566,875 = 24,566,875
and
-1 x -24,566,875 = 24,566,875
Notice both answers equal 24,566,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,566,875 and divide it by 2:
24,566,875 ÷ 2 = 12,283,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,283,437.5 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 | 24,566,875 | |
| -1 | -24,566,875 |
Now, we try dividing 24,566,875 by 3:
24,566,875 ÷ 3 = 8,188,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,188,958.3333 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 | 24,566,875 | |
| -1 | -24,566,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,566,875 ÷ 4 = 6,141,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,141,718.75 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 | 24,566,875 | |
| -1 | 24,566,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 115 | 125 | 575 | 625 | 1,709 | 2,875 | 8,545 | 14,375 | 39,307 | 42,725 | 196,535 | 213,625 | 982,675 | 1,068,125 | 4,913,375 | 24,566,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -115 | -125 | -575 | -625 | -1,709 | -2,875 | -8,545 | -14,375 | -39,307 | -42,725 | -196,535 | -213,625 | -982,675 | -1,068,125 | -4,913,375 | -24,566,875 |
