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 29,365,945, 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 | 29,365,945 | |
| -1 | -29,365,945 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,365,945.
Example:
1 x 29,365,945 = 29,365,945
and
-1 x -29,365,945 = 29,365,945
Notice both answers equal 29,365,945
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,365,945 and divide it by 2:
29,365,945 ÷ 2 = 14,682,972.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,682,972.5 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 | 29,365,945 | |
| -1 | -29,365,945 |
Now, we try dividing 29,365,945 by 3:
29,365,945 ÷ 3 = 9,788,648.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,788,648.3333 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 | 29,365,945 | |
| -1 | -29,365,945 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,365,945 ÷ 4 = 7,341,486.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,341,486.25 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 | 29,365,945 | |
| -1 | 29,365,945 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 245 | 343 | 1,715 | 17,123 | 85,615 | 119,861 | 599,305 | 839,027 | 4,195,135 | 5,873,189 | 29,365,945 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -245 | -343 | -1,715 | -17,123 | -85,615 | -119,861 | -599,305 | -839,027 | -4,195,135 | -5,873,189 | -29,365,945 |
