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 30,352,259, 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 | 30,352,259 | |
| -1 | -30,352,259 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,352,259.
Example:
1 x 30,352,259 = 30,352,259
and
-1 x -30,352,259 = 30,352,259
Notice both answers equal 30,352,259
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,352,259 and divide it by 2:
30,352,259 ÷ 2 = 15,176,129.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,176,129.5 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 | 30,352,259 | |
| -1 | -30,352,259 |
Now, we try dividing 30,352,259 by 3:
30,352,259 ÷ 3 = 10,117,419.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,117,419.6667 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 | 30,352,259 | |
| -1 | -30,352,259 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,352,259 ÷ 4 = 7,588,064.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,588,064.75 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 | 30,352,259 | |
| -1 | 30,352,259 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 41 | 119 | 287 | 697 | 4,879 | 6,221 | 43,547 | 105,757 | 255,061 | 740,299 | 1,785,427 | 4,336,037 | 30,352,259 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -41 | -119 | -287 | -697 | -4,879 | -6,221 | -43,547 | -105,757 | -255,061 | -740,299 | -1,785,427 | -4,336,037 | -30,352,259 |
