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 30,244,115, 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 | 30,244,115 | |
| -1 | -30,244,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,244,115.
Example:
1 x 30,244,115 = 30,244,115
and
-1 x -30,244,115 = 30,244,115
Notice both answers equal 30,244,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,244,115 and divide it by 2:
30,244,115 ÷ 2 = 15,122,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,122,057.5 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 | 30,244,115 | |
| -1 | -30,244,115 |
Now, we try dividing 30,244,115 by 3:
30,244,115 ÷ 3 = 10,081,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,081,371.6667 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 | 30,244,115 | |
| -1 | -30,244,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,244,115 ÷ 4 = 7,561,028.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,561,028.75 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 | 30,244,115 | |
| -1 | 30,244,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 97 | 485 | 1,067 | 5,335 | 5,669 | 28,345 | 62,359 | 311,795 | 549,893 | 2,749,465 | 6,048,823 | 30,244,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -97 | -485 | -1,067 | -5,335 | -5,669 | -28,345 | -62,359 | -311,795 | -549,893 | -2,749,465 | -6,048,823 | -30,244,115 |
