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 24,640,633, 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 | 24,640,633 | |
| -1 | -24,640,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,640,633.
Example:
1 x 24,640,633 = 24,640,633
and
-1 x -24,640,633 = 24,640,633
Notice both answers equal 24,640,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,640,633 and divide it by 2:
24,640,633 ÷ 2 = 12,320,316.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,320,316.5 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 | 24,640,633 | |
| -1 | -24,640,633 |
Now, we try dividing 24,640,633 by 3:
24,640,633 ÷ 3 = 8,213,544.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,213,544.3333 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 | 24,640,633 | |
| -1 | -24,640,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,640,633 ÷ 4 = 6,160,158.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,160,158.25 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 | 24,640,633 | |
| -1 | 24,640,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 151 | 331 | 493 | 2,567 | 4,379 | 5,627 | 9,599 | 49,981 | 74,443 | 163,183 | 849,677 | 1,449,449 | 24,640,633 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -151 | -331 | -493 | -2,567 | -4,379 | -5,627 | -9,599 | -49,981 | -74,443 | -163,183 | -849,677 | -1,449,449 | -24,640,633 |
