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 30,448,915, 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 | 30,448,915 | |
| -1 | -30,448,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,448,915.
Example:
1 x 30,448,915 = 30,448,915
and
-1 x -30,448,915 = 30,448,915
Notice both answers equal 30,448,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,448,915 and divide it by 2:
30,448,915 ÷ 2 = 15,224,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,224,457.5 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 | 30,448,915 | |
| -1 | -30,448,915 |
Now, we try dividing 30,448,915 by 3:
30,448,915 ÷ 3 = 10,149,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,149,638.3333 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 | 30,448,915 | |
| -1 | -30,448,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,448,915 ÷ 4 = 7,612,228.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,612,228.75 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 | 30,448,915 | |
| -1 | 30,448,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 691 | 1,259 | 3,455 | 4,837 | 6,295 | 8,813 | 24,185 | 44,065 | 869,969 | 4,349,845 | 6,089,783 | 30,448,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -691 | -1,259 | -3,455 | -4,837 | -6,295 | -8,813 | -24,185 | -44,065 | -869,969 | -4,349,845 | -6,089,783 | -30,448,915 |
