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 29,690,441, 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 | 29,690,441 | |
| -1 | -29,690,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,690,441.
Example:
1 x 29,690,441 = 29,690,441
and
-1 x -29,690,441 = 29,690,441
Notice both answers equal 29,690,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,690,441 and divide it by 2:
29,690,441 ÷ 2 = 14,845,220.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,845,220.5 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 | 29,690,441 | |
| -1 | -29,690,441 |
Now, we try dividing 29,690,441 by 3:
29,690,441 ÷ 3 = 9,896,813.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,896,813.6667 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 | 29,690,441 | |
| -1 | -29,690,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,690,441 ÷ 4 = 7,422,610.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,422,610.25 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 | 29,690,441 | |
| -1 | 29,690,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 127 | 401 | 583 | 1,397 | 4,411 | 6,731 | 21,253 | 50,927 | 74,041 | 233,783 | 560,197 | 2,699,131 | 29,690,441 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -127 | -401 | -583 | -1,397 | -4,411 | -6,731 | -21,253 | -50,927 | -74,041 | -233,783 | -560,197 | -2,699,131 | -29,690,441 |
