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 24,847,537, 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 | 24,847,537 | |
| -1 | -24,847,537 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 24,847,537.
Example:
1 x 24,847,537 = 24,847,537
and
-1 x -24,847,537 = 24,847,537
Notice both answers equal 24,847,537
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 24,847,537 and divide it by 2:
24,847,537 ÷ 2 = 12,423,768.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,423,768.5 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 | 24,847,537 | |
| -1 | -24,847,537 |
Now, we try dividing 24,847,537 by 3:
24,847,537 ÷ 3 = 8,282,512.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,282,512.3333 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 | 24,847,537 | |
| -1 | -24,847,537 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
24,847,537 ÷ 4 = 6,211,884.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,211,884.25 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 | 24,847,537 | |
| -1 | 24,847,537 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 47 | 143 | 517 | 611 | 3,697 | 6,721 | 40,667 | 48,061 | 173,759 | 528,671 | 1,911,349 | 2,258,867 | 24,847,537 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -47 | -143 | -517 | -611 | -3,697 | -6,721 | -40,667 | -48,061 | -173,759 | -528,671 | -1,911,349 | -2,258,867 | -24,847,537 |
