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 29,596,105, 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 | 29,596,105 | |
| -1 | -29,596,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,596,105.
Example:
1 x 29,596,105 = 29,596,105
and
-1 x -29,596,105 = 29,596,105
Notice both answers equal 29,596,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,596,105 and divide it by 2:
29,596,105 ÷ 2 = 14,798,052.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,798,052.5 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 | 29,596,105 | |
| -1 | -29,596,105 |
Now, we try dividing 29,596,105 by 3:
29,596,105 ÷ 3 = 9,865,368.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,865,368.3333 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 | 29,596,105 | |
| -1 | -29,596,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,596,105 ÷ 4 = 7,399,026.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,399,026.25 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 | 29,596,105 | |
| -1 | 29,596,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 76,873 | 384,365 | 538,111 | 845,603 | 2,690,555 | 4,228,015 | 5,919,221 | 29,596,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -76,873 | -384,365 | -538,111 | -845,603 | -2,690,555 | -4,228,015 | -5,919,221 | -29,596,105 |
