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 15,292,435, 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 | 15,292,435 | |
| -1 | -15,292,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,292,435.
Example:
1 x 15,292,435 = 15,292,435
and
-1 x -15,292,435 = 15,292,435
Notice both answers equal 15,292,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,292,435 and divide it by 2:
15,292,435 ÷ 2 = 7,646,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,646,217.5 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 | 15,292,435 | |
| -1 | -15,292,435 |
Now, we try dividing 15,292,435 by 3:
15,292,435 ÷ 3 = 5,097,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,097,478.3333 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 | 15,292,435 | |
| -1 | -15,292,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,292,435 ÷ 4 = 3,823,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,823,108.75 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 | 15,292,435 | |
| -1 | 15,292,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 289 | 323 | 557 | 1,445 | 1,615 | 2,785 | 5,491 | 9,469 | 10,583 | 27,455 | 47,345 | 52,915 | 160,973 | 179,911 | 804,865 | 899,555 | 3,058,487 | 15,292,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -289 | -323 | -557 | -1,445 | -1,615 | -2,785 | -5,491 | -9,469 | -10,583 | -27,455 | -47,345 | -52,915 | -160,973 | -179,911 | -804,865 | -899,555 | -3,058,487 | -15,292,435 |
