How do I find the factor combinations of the number 30,001,325?

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 30,001,325, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 30,001,325
-1 -30,001,325

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,001,325.

Example:
1 x 30,001,325 = 30,001,325
and
-1 x -30,001,325 = 30,001,325
Notice both answers equal 30,001,325

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,001,325 and divide it by 2:

30,001,325 ÷ 2 = 15,000,662.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,000,662.5 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 30,001,325
-1 -30,001,325

Now, we try dividing 30,001,325 by 3:

30,001,325 ÷ 3 = 10,000,441.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,000,441.6667 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 30,001,325
-1 -30,001,325

Let's try dividing by 4:

30,001,325 ÷ 4 = 7,500,331.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,500,331.25 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 30,001,325
-1 30,001,325
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

1525611031913055159551,5252,5754,7756,28311,65119,67331,41558,25598,365157,075291,275491,8251,200,0536,000,26530,001,325
