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 24,613,625, 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 | 24,613,625 | |
| -1 | -24,613,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,613,625.
Example:
1 x 24,613,625 = 24,613,625
and
-1 x -24,613,625 = 24,613,625
Notice both answers equal 24,613,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,613,625 and divide it by 2:
24,613,625 ÷ 2 = 12,306,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,306,812.5 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 | 24,613,625 | |
| -1 | -24,613,625 |
Now, we try dividing 24,613,625 by 3:
24,613,625 ÷ 3 = 8,204,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,204,541.6667 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 | 24,613,625 | |
| -1 | -24,613,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,613,625 ÷ 4 = 6,153,406.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,153,406.25 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 | 24,613,625 | |
| -1 | 24,613,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 223 | 883 | 1,115 | 4,415 | 5,575 | 22,075 | 27,875 | 110,375 | 196,909 | 984,545 | 4,922,725 | 24,613,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -223 | -883 | -1,115 | -4,415 | -5,575 | -22,075 | -27,875 | -110,375 | -196,909 | -984,545 | -4,922,725 | -24,613,625 |
