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 29,611,015, 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 | 29,611,015 | |
| -1 | -29,611,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,611,015.
Example:
1 x 29,611,015 = 29,611,015
and
-1 x -29,611,015 = 29,611,015
Notice both answers equal 29,611,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,611,015 and divide it by 2:
29,611,015 ÷ 2 = 14,805,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,805,507.5 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 | 29,611,015 | |
| -1 | -29,611,015 |
Now, we try dividing 29,611,015 by 3:
29,611,015 ÷ 3 = 9,870,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,870,338.3333 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 | 29,611,015 | |
| -1 | -29,611,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,611,015 ÷ 4 = 7,402,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,402,753.75 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 | 29,611,015 | |
| -1 | 29,611,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 227 | 1,135 | 1,589 | 3,727 | 7,945 | 18,635 | 26,089 | 130,445 | 846,029 | 4,230,145 | 5,922,203 | 29,611,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -227 | -1,135 | -1,589 | -3,727 | -7,945 | -18,635 | -26,089 | -130,445 | -846,029 | -4,230,145 | -5,922,203 | -29,611,015 |
