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 29,737,673, 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 | 29,737,673 | |
| -1 | -29,737,673 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,737,673.
Example:
1 x 29,737,673 = 29,737,673
and
-1 x -29,737,673 = 29,737,673
Notice both answers equal 29,737,673
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,737,673 and divide it by 2:
29,737,673 ÷ 2 = 14,868,836.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,868,836.5 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 | 29,737,673 | |
| -1 | -29,737,673 |
Now, we try dividing 29,737,673 by 3:
29,737,673 ÷ 3 = 9,912,557.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,912,557.6667 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 | 29,737,673 | |
| -1 | -29,737,673 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,737,673 ÷ 4 = 7,434,418.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,434,418.25 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 | 29,737,673 | |
| -1 | 29,737,673 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 203 | 263 | 557 | 1,841 | 3,899 | 7,627 | 16,153 | 53,389 | 113,071 | 146,491 | 1,025,437 | 4,248,239 | 29,737,673 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -203 | -263 | -557 | -1,841 | -3,899 | -7,627 | -16,153 | -53,389 | -113,071 | -146,491 | -1,025,437 | -4,248,239 | -29,737,673 |
