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 29,467,727, 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 | 29,467,727 | |
| -1 | -29,467,727 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,467,727.
Example:
1 x 29,467,727 = 29,467,727
and
-1 x -29,467,727 = 29,467,727
Notice both answers equal 29,467,727
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,467,727 and divide it by 2:
29,467,727 ÷ 2 = 14,733,863.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,733,863.5 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 | 29,467,727 | |
| -1 | -29,467,727 |
Now, we try dividing 29,467,727 by 3:
29,467,727 ÷ 3 = 9,822,575.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,822,575.6667 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 | 29,467,727 | |
| -1 | -29,467,727 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,467,727 ÷ 4 = 7,366,931.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,366,931.75 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 | 29,467,727 | |
| -1 | 29,467,727 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 59 | 97 | 271 | 1,121 | 1,843 | 5,149 | 5,723 | 15,989 | 26,287 | 108,737 | 303,791 | 499,453 | 1,550,933 | 29,467,727 |
| -1 | -19 | -59 | -97 | -271 | -1,121 | -1,843 | -5,149 | -5,723 | -15,989 | -26,287 | -108,737 | -303,791 | -499,453 | -1,550,933 | -29,467,727 |
