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 30,074,735, 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 | 30,074,735 | |
| -1 | -30,074,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,074,735.
Example:
1 x 30,074,735 = 30,074,735
and
-1 x -30,074,735 = 30,074,735
Notice both answers equal 30,074,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,074,735 and divide it by 2:
30,074,735 ÷ 2 = 15,037,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,037,367.5 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 | 30,074,735 | |
| -1 | -30,074,735 |
Now, we try dividing 30,074,735 by 3:
30,074,735 ÷ 3 = 10,024,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,024,911.6667 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 | 30,074,735 | |
| -1 | -30,074,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,074,735 ÷ 4 = 7,518,683.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,518,683.75 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 | 30,074,735 | |
| -1 | 30,074,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 109 | 139 | 397 | 545 | 695 | 1,985 | 15,151 | 43,273 | 55,183 | 75,755 | 216,365 | 275,915 | 6,014,947 | 30,074,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -109 | -139 | -397 | -545 | -695 | -1,985 | -15,151 | -43,273 | -55,183 | -75,755 | -216,365 | -275,915 | -6,014,947 | -30,074,735 |
