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 24,630,319, 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 | 24,630,319 | |
| -1 | -24,630,319 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,630,319.
Example:
1 x 24,630,319 = 24,630,319
and
-1 x -24,630,319 = 24,630,319
Notice both answers equal 24,630,319
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,630,319 and divide it by 2:
24,630,319 ÷ 2 = 12,315,159.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,315,159.5 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 | 24,630,319 | |
| -1 | -24,630,319 |
Now, we try dividing 24,630,319 by 3:
24,630,319 ÷ 3 = 8,210,106.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,210,106.3333 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 | 24,630,319 | |
| -1 | -24,630,319 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,630,319 ÷ 4 = 6,157,579.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,157,579.75 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 | 24,630,319 | |
| -1 | 24,630,319 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 197 | 337 | 371 | 1,379 | 2,359 | 10,441 | 17,861 | 66,389 | 73,087 | 125,027 | 464,723 | 3,518,617 | 24,630,319 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -197 | -337 | -371 | -1,379 | -2,359 | -10,441 | -17,861 | -66,389 | -73,087 | -125,027 | -464,723 | -3,518,617 | -24,630,319 |
