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 29,230,375, 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 | 29,230,375 | |
| -1 | -29,230,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,230,375.
Example:
1 x 29,230,375 = 29,230,375
and
-1 x -29,230,375 = 29,230,375
Notice both answers equal 29,230,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,230,375 and divide it by 2:
29,230,375 ÷ 2 = 14,615,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,615,187.5 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 | 29,230,375 | |
| -1 | -29,230,375 |
Now, we try dividing 29,230,375 by 3:
29,230,375 ÷ 3 = 9,743,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,743,458.3333 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 | 29,230,375 | |
| -1 | -29,230,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,230,375 ÷ 4 = 7,307,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,307,593.75 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 | 29,230,375 | |
| -1 | 29,230,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 379 | 617 | 1,895 | 3,085 | 9,475 | 15,425 | 47,375 | 77,125 | 233,843 | 1,169,215 | 5,846,075 | 29,230,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -379 | -617 | -1,895 | -3,085 | -9,475 | -15,425 | -47,375 | -77,125 | -233,843 | -1,169,215 | -5,846,075 | -29,230,375 |
