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 30,303,455, 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 | 30,303,455 | |
| -1 | -30,303,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,303,455.
Example:
1 x 30,303,455 = 30,303,455
and
-1 x -30,303,455 = 30,303,455
Notice both answers equal 30,303,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,303,455 and divide it by 2:
30,303,455 ÷ 2 = 15,151,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,151,727.5 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 | 30,303,455 | |
| -1 | -30,303,455 |
Now, we try dividing 30,303,455 by 3:
30,303,455 ÷ 3 = 10,101,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,101,151.6667 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 | 30,303,455 | |
| -1 | -30,303,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,303,455 ÷ 4 = 7,575,863.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,575,863.75 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 | 30,303,455 | |
| -1 | 30,303,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 66,601 | 333,005 | 466,207 | 865,813 | 2,331,035 | 4,329,065 | 6,060,691 | 30,303,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -66,601 | -333,005 | -466,207 | -865,813 | -2,331,035 | -4,329,065 | -6,060,691 | -30,303,455 |
