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 30,088,495, 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 | 30,088,495 | |
| -1 | -30,088,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,088,495.
Example:
1 x 30,088,495 = 30,088,495
and
-1 x -30,088,495 = 30,088,495
Notice both answers equal 30,088,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,088,495 and divide it by 2:
30,088,495 ÷ 2 = 15,044,247.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,044,247.5 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 | 30,088,495 | |
| -1 | -30,088,495 |
Now, we try dividing 30,088,495 by 3:
30,088,495 ÷ 3 = 10,029,498.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,029,498.3333 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 | 30,088,495 | |
| -1 | -30,088,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,088,495 ÷ 4 = 7,522,123.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,522,123.75 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 | 30,088,495 | |
| -1 | 30,088,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 367 | 863 | 1,835 | 4,315 | 6,973 | 16,397 | 34,865 | 81,985 | 316,721 | 1,583,605 | 6,017,699 | 30,088,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -367 | -863 | -1,835 | -4,315 | -6,973 | -16,397 | -34,865 | -81,985 | -316,721 | -1,583,605 | -6,017,699 | -30,088,495 |
