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 30,244,403, 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 | 30,244,403 | |
| -1 | -30,244,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,244,403.
Example:
1 x 30,244,403 = 30,244,403
and
-1 x -30,244,403 = 30,244,403
Notice both answers equal 30,244,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,244,403 and divide it by 2:
30,244,403 ÷ 2 = 15,122,201.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,122,201.5 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 | 30,244,403 | |
| -1 | -30,244,403 |
Now, we try dividing 30,244,403 by 3:
30,244,403 ÷ 3 = 10,081,467.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,081,467.6667 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 | 30,244,403 | |
| -1 | -30,244,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,244,403 ÷ 4 = 7,561,100.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,561,100.75 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 | 30,244,403 | |
| -1 | 30,244,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 59 | 67 | 413 | 469 | 1,093 | 3,953 | 7,651 | 27,671 | 64,487 | 73,231 | 451,409 | 512,617 | 4,320,629 | 30,244,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -59 | -67 | -413 | -469 | -1,093 | -3,953 | -7,651 | -27,671 | -64,487 | -73,231 | -451,409 | -512,617 | -4,320,629 | -30,244,403 |
