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 12,441,029, 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 | 12,441,029 | |
| -1 | -12,441,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,441,029.
Example:
1 x 12,441,029 = 12,441,029
and
-1 x -12,441,029 = 12,441,029
Notice both answers equal 12,441,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,441,029 and divide it by 2:
12,441,029 ÷ 2 = 6,220,514.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,220,514.5 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 | 12,441,029 | |
| -1 | -12,441,029 |
Now, we try dividing 12,441,029 by 3:
12,441,029 ÷ 3 = 4,147,009.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,147,009.6667 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 | 12,441,029 | |
| -1 | -12,441,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,441,029 ÷ 4 = 3,110,257.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,110,257.25 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 | 12,441,029 | |
| -1 | 12,441,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 67 | 337 | 551 | 1,273 | 1,943 | 6,403 | 9,773 | 22,579 | 36,917 | 185,687 | 429,001 | 654,791 | 12,441,029 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -67 | -337 | -551 | -1,273 | -1,943 | -6,403 | -9,773 | -22,579 | -36,917 | -185,687 | -429,001 | -654,791 | -12,441,029 |
