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 29,682,991, 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 | 29,682,991 | |
| -1 | -29,682,991 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,682,991.
Example:
1 x 29,682,991 = 29,682,991
and
-1 x -29,682,991 = 29,682,991
Notice both answers equal 29,682,991
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,682,991 and divide it by 2:
29,682,991 ÷ 2 = 14,841,495.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,841,495.5 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 | 29,682,991 | |
| -1 | -29,682,991 |
Now, we try dividing 29,682,991 by 3:
29,682,991 ÷ 3 = 9,894,330.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,894,330.3333 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 | 29,682,991 | |
| -1 | -29,682,991 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,682,991 ÷ 4 = 7,420,747.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,420,747.75 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 | 29,682,991 | |
| -1 | 29,682,991 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 47 | 101 | 169 | 481 | 611 | 1,313 | 1,739 | 3,737 | 4,747 | 6,253 | 7,943 | 17,069 | 22,607 | 48,581 | 61,711 | 175,639 | 293,891 | 631,553 | 802,243 | 2,283,307 | 29,682,991 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -47 | -101 | -169 | -481 | -611 | -1,313 | -1,739 | -3,737 | -4,747 | -6,253 | -7,943 | -17,069 | -22,607 | -48,581 | -61,711 | -175,639 | -293,891 | -631,553 | -802,243 | -2,283,307 | -29,682,991 |
