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 24,611,575, 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 | 24,611,575 | |
| -1 | -24,611,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,611,575.
Example:
1 x 24,611,575 = 24,611,575
and
-1 x -24,611,575 = 24,611,575
Notice both answers equal 24,611,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,611,575 and divide it by 2:
24,611,575 ÷ 2 = 12,305,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,305,787.5 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 | 24,611,575 | |
| -1 | -24,611,575 |
Now, we try dividing 24,611,575 by 3:
24,611,575 ÷ 3 = 8,203,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,203,858.3333 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 | 24,611,575 | |
| -1 | -24,611,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,611,575 ÷ 4 = 6,152,893.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,152,893.75 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 | 24,611,575 | |
| -1 | 24,611,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 83 | 145 | 409 | 415 | 725 | 2,045 | 2,075 | 2,407 | 10,225 | 11,861 | 12,035 | 33,947 | 59,305 | 60,175 | 169,735 | 296,525 | 848,675 | 984,463 | 4,922,315 | 24,611,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -83 | -145 | -409 | -415 | -725 | -2,045 | -2,075 | -2,407 | -10,225 | -11,861 | -12,035 | -33,947 | -59,305 | -60,175 | -169,735 | -296,525 | -848,675 | -984,463 | -4,922,315 | -24,611,575 |
