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 29,709,113, 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 | 29,709,113 | |
| -1 | -29,709,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,709,113.
Example:
1 x 29,709,113 = 29,709,113
and
-1 x -29,709,113 = 29,709,113
Notice both answers equal 29,709,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,709,113 and divide it by 2:
29,709,113 ÷ 2 = 14,854,556.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,854,556.5 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 | 29,709,113 | |
| -1 | -29,709,113 |
Now, we try dividing 29,709,113 by 3:
29,709,113 ÷ 3 = 9,903,037.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,903,037.6667 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 | 29,709,113 | |
| -1 | -29,709,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,709,113 ÷ 4 = 7,427,278.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,427,278.25 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 | 29,709,113 | |
| -1 | 29,709,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 251 | 259 | 457 | 1,757 | 3,199 | 9,287 | 16,909 | 65,009 | 114,707 | 118,363 | 802,949 | 4,244,159 | 29,709,113 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -251 | -259 | -457 | -1,757 | -3,199 | -9,287 | -16,909 | -65,009 | -114,707 | -118,363 | -802,949 | -4,244,159 | -29,709,113 |
