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 24,606,065, 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 | 24,606,065 | |
| -1 | -24,606,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,606,065.
Example:
1 x 24,606,065 = 24,606,065
and
-1 x -24,606,065 = 24,606,065
Notice both answers equal 24,606,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,606,065 and divide it by 2:
24,606,065 ÷ 2 = 12,303,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,303,032.5 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 | 24,606,065 | |
| -1 | -24,606,065 |
Now, we try dividing 24,606,065 by 3:
24,606,065 ÷ 3 = 8,202,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,202,021.6667 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 | 24,606,065 | |
| -1 | -24,606,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,606,065 ÷ 4 = 6,151,516.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,151,516.25 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 | 24,606,065 | |
| -1 | 24,606,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 145 | 319 | 1,595 | 15,427 | 77,135 | 169,697 | 447,383 | 848,485 | 2,236,915 | 4,921,213 | 24,606,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -145 | -319 | -1,595 | -15,427 | -77,135 | -169,697 | -447,383 | -848,485 | -2,236,915 | -4,921,213 | -24,606,065 |
