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 29,397,511, 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 | 29,397,511 | |
| -1 | -29,397,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,397,511.
Example:
1 x 29,397,511 = 29,397,511
and
-1 x -29,397,511 = 29,397,511
Notice both answers equal 29,397,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,397,511 and divide it by 2:
29,397,511 ÷ 2 = 14,698,755.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,698,755.5 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 | 29,397,511 | |
| -1 | -29,397,511 |
Now, we try dividing 29,397,511 by 3:
29,397,511 ÷ 3 = 9,799,170.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,799,170.3333 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 | 29,397,511 | |
| -1 | -29,397,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,397,511 ÷ 4 = 7,349,377.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,349,377.75 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 | 29,397,511 | |
| -1 | 29,397,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 167 | 1,231 | 1,837 | 2,171 | 13,541 | 16,003 | 23,881 | 176,033 | 205,577 | 2,261,347 | 2,672,501 | 29,397,511 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -167 | -1,231 | -1,837 | -2,171 | -13,541 | -16,003 | -23,881 | -176,033 | -205,577 | -2,261,347 | -2,672,501 | -29,397,511 |
