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 24,600,323, 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 | 24,600,323 | |
| -1 | -24,600,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,600,323.
Example:
1 x 24,600,323 = 24,600,323
and
-1 x -24,600,323 = 24,600,323
Notice both answers equal 24,600,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,600,323 and divide it by 2:
24,600,323 ÷ 2 = 12,300,161.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,300,161.5 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 | 24,600,323 | |
| -1 | -24,600,323 |
Now, we try dividing 24,600,323 by 3:
24,600,323 ÷ 3 = 8,200,107.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,200,107.6667 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 | 24,600,323 | |
| -1 | -24,600,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,600,323 ÷ 4 = 6,150,080.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,150,080.75 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 | 24,600,323 | |
| -1 | 24,600,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 67 | 319 | 737 | 1,151 | 1,943 | 12,661 | 21,373 | 33,379 | 77,117 | 367,169 | 848,287 | 2,236,393 | 24,600,323 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -67 | -319 | -737 | -1,151 | -1,943 | -12,661 | -21,373 | -33,379 | -77,117 | -367,169 | -848,287 | -2,236,393 | -24,600,323 |
