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 24,589,915, 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 | 24,589,915 | |
| -1 | -24,589,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,589,915.
Example:
1 x 24,589,915 = 24,589,915
and
-1 x -24,589,915 = 24,589,915
Notice both answers equal 24,589,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,589,915 and divide it by 2:
24,589,915 ÷ 2 = 12,294,957.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,294,957.5 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 | 24,589,915 | |
| -1 | -24,589,915 |
Now, we try dividing 24,589,915 by 3:
24,589,915 ÷ 3 = 8,196,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,196,638.3333 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 | 24,589,915 | |
| -1 | -24,589,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,589,915 ÷ 4 = 6,147,478.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,147,478.75 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 | 24,589,915 | |
| -1 | 24,589,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 167 | 245 | 601 | 835 | 1,169 | 3,005 | 4,207 | 5,845 | 8,183 | 21,035 | 29,449 | 40,915 | 100,367 | 147,245 | 501,835 | 702,569 | 3,512,845 | 4,917,983 | 24,589,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -167 | -245 | -601 | -835 | -1,169 | -3,005 | -4,207 | -5,845 | -8,183 | -21,035 | -29,449 | -40,915 | -100,367 | -147,245 | -501,835 | -702,569 | -3,512,845 | -4,917,983 | -24,589,915 |
