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 29,635,615, 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 | 29,635,615 | |
| -1 | -29,635,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,635,615.
Example:
1 x 29,635,615 = 29,635,615
and
-1 x -29,635,615 = 29,635,615
Notice both answers equal 29,635,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,635,615 and divide it by 2:
29,635,615 ÷ 2 = 14,817,807.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,817,807.5 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 | 29,635,615 | |
| -1 | -29,635,615 |
Now, we try dividing 29,635,615 by 3:
29,635,615 ÷ 3 = 9,878,538.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,878,538.3333 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 | 29,635,615 | |
| -1 | -29,635,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,635,615 ÷ 4 = 7,408,903.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,408,903.75 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 | 29,635,615 | |
| -1 | 29,635,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 47 | 115 | 235 | 1,081 | 5,405 | 5,483 | 27,415 | 126,109 | 257,701 | 630,545 | 1,288,505 | 5,927,123 | 29,635,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -47 | -115 | -235 | -1,081 | -5,405 | -5,483 | -27,415 | -126,109 | -257,701 | -630,545 | -1,288,505 | -5,927,123 | -29,635,615 |
