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 29,376,347, 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 | 29,376,347 | |
| -1 | -29,376,347 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,376,347.
Example:
1 x 29,376,347 = 29,376,347
and
-1 x -29,376,347 = 29,376,347
Notice both answers equal 29,376,347
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,376,347 and divide it by 2:
29,376,347 ÷ 2 = 14,688,173.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,688,173.5 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 | 29,376,347 | |
| -1 | -29,376,347 |
Now, we try dividing 29,376,347 by 3:
29,376,347 ÷ 3 = 9,792,115.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,792,115.6667 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 | 29,376,347 | |
| -1 | -29,376,347 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,376,347 ÷ 4 = 7,344,086.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,344,086.75 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 | 29,376,347 | |
| -1 | 29,376,347 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 1,001 | 29,347 | 205,429 | 322,817 | 381,511 | 2,259,719 | 2,670,577 | 4,196,621 | 29,376,347 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -1,001 | -29,347 | -205,429 | -322,817 | -381,511 | -2,259,719 | -2,670,577 | -4,196,621 | -29,376,347 |
