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 24,622,703, 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 | 24,622,703 | |
| -1 | -24,622,703 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,622,703.
Example:
1 x 24,622,703 = 24,622,703
and
-1 x -24,622,703 = 24,622,703
Notice both answers equal 24,622,703
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,622,703 and divide it by 2:
24,622,703 ÷ 2 = 12,311,351.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,311,351.5 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 | 24,622,703 | |
| -1 | -24,622,703 |
Now, we try dividing 24,622,703 by 3:
24,622,703 ÷ 3 = 8,207,567.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,207,567.6667 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 | 24,622,703 | |
| -1 | -24,622,703 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,622,703 ÷ 4 = 6,155,675.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,155,675.75 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 | 24,622,703 | |
| -1 | 24,622,703 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 179 | 301 | 457 | 1,253 | 3,199 | 7,697 | 19,651 | 53,879 | 81,803 | 137,557 | 572,621 | 3,517,529 | 24,622,703 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -179 | -301 | -457 | -1,253 | -3,199 | -7,697 | -19,651 | -53,879 | -81,803 | -137,557 | -572,621 | -3,517,529 | -24,622,703 |
