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 29,634,373, 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 | 29,634,373 | |
| -1 | -29,634,373 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,634,373.
Example:
1 x 29,634,373 = 29,634,373
and
-1 x -29,634,373 = 29,634,373
Notice both answers equal 29,634,373
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,634,373 and divide it by 2:
29,634,373 ÷ 2 = 14,817,186.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,817,186.5 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 | 29,634,373 | |
| -1 | -29,634,373 |
Now, we try dividing 29,634,373 by 3:
29,634,373 ÷ 3 = 9,878,124.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,878,124.3333 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 | 29,634,373 | |
| -1 | -29,634,373 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,634,373 ÷ 4 = 7,408,593.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,408,593.25 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 | 29,634,373 | |
| -1 | 29,634,373 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 37 | 97 | 359 | 851 | 2,231 | 3,589 | 8,257 | 13,283 | 34,823 | 82,547 | 305,509 | 800,929 | 1,288,451 | 29,634,373 |
| -1 | -23 | -37 | -97 | -359 | -851 | -2,231 | -3,589 | -8,257 | -13,283 | -34,823 | -82,547 | -305,509 | -800,929 | -1,288,451 | -29,634,373 |
