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 29,256,425, 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 | 29,256,425 | |
| -1 | -29,256,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,256,425.
Example:
1 x 29,256,425 = 29,256,425
and
-1 x -29,256,425 = 29,256,425
Notice both answers equal 29,256,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,256,425 and divide it by 2:
29,256,425 ÷ 2 = 14,628,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,628,212.5 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 | 29,256,425 | |
| -1 | -29,256,425 |
Now, we try dividing 29,256,425 by 3:
29,256,425 ÷ 3 = 9,752,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,752,141.6667 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 | 29,256,425 | |
| -1 | -29,256,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,256,425 ÷ 4 = 7,314,106.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,314,106.25 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 | 29,256,425 | |
| -1 | 29,256,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 191 | 275 | 557 | 955 | 2,101 | 2,785 | 4,775 | 6,127 | 10,505 | 13,925 | 30,635 | 52,525 | 106,387 | 153,175 | 531,935 | 1,170,257 | 2,659,675 | 5,851,285 | 29,256,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -191 | -275 | -557 | -955 | -2,101 | -2,785 | -4,775 | -6,127 | -10,505 | -13,925 | -30,635 | -52,525 | -106,387 | -153,175 | -531,935 | -1,170,257 | -2,659,675 | -5,851,285 | -29,256,425 |
