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 24,616,325, 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 | 24,616,325 | |
| -1 | -24,616,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,616,325.
Example:
1 x 24,616,325 = 24,616,325
and
-1 x -24,616,325 = 24,616,325
Notice both answers equal 24,616,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,616,325 and divide it by 2:
24,616,325 ÷ 2 = 12,308,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,308,162.5 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 | 24,616,325 | |
| -1 | -24,616,325 |
Now, we try dividing 24,616,325 by 3:
24,616,325 ÷ 3 = 8,205,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,205,441.6667 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 | 24,616,325 | |
| -1 | -24,616,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,616,325 ÷ 4 = 6,154,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,154,081.25 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 | 24,616,325 | |
| -1 | 24,616,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 31 | 115 | 155 | 575 | 713 | 775 | 1,381 | 3,565 | 6,905 | 17,825 | 31,763 | 34,525 | 42,811 | 158,815 | 214,055 | 794,075 | 984,653 | 1,070,275 | 4,923,265 | 24,616,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -31 | -115 | -155 | -575 | -713 | -775 | -1,381 | -3,565 | -6,905 | -17,825 | -31,763 | -34,525 | -42,811 | -158,815 | -214,055 | -794,075 | -984,653 | -1,070,275 | -4,923,265 | -24,616,325 |
