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 29,764,553, 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 | 29,764,553 | |
| -1 | -29,764,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 29,764,553.
Example:
1 x 29,764,553 = 29,764,553
and
-1 x -29,764,553 = 29,764,553
Notice both answers equal 29,764,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 29,764,553 and divide it by 2:
29,764,553 ÷ 2 = 14,882,276.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 14,882,276.5 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 | 29,764,553 | |
| -1 | -29,764,553 |
Now, we try dividing 29,764,553 by 3:
29,764,553 ÷ 3 = 9,921,517.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,921,517.6667 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 | 29,764,553 | |
| -1 | -29,764,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
29,764,553 ÷ 4 = 7,441,138.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,441,138.25 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 | 29,764,553 | |
| -1 | 29,764,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 2,093 | 14,221 | 99,547 | 184,873 | 327,083 | 1,294,111 | 2,289,581 | 4,252,079 | 29,764,553 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -2,093 | -14,221 | -99,547 | -184,873 | -327,083 | -1,294,111 | -2,289,581 | -4,252,079 | -29,764,553 |
