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 30,465,037, 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 | 30,465,037 | |
| -1 | -30,465,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,465,037.
Example:
1 x 30,465,037 = 30,465,037
and
-1 x -30,465,037 = 30,465,037
Notice both answers equal 30,465,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,465,037 and divide it by 2:
30,465,037 ÷ 2 = 15,232,518.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,232,518.5 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 | 30,465,037 | |
| -1 | -30,465,037 |
Now, we try dividing 30,465,037 by 3:
30,465,037 ÷ 3 = 10,155,012.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,155,012.3333 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 | 30,465,037 | |
| -1 | -30,465,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,465,037 ÷ 4 = 7,616,259.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,616,259.25 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 | 30,465,037 | |
| -1 | 30,465,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 257 | 323 | 367 | 4,369 | 4,883 | 6,239 | 6,973 | 83,011 | 94,319 | 118,541 | 1,603,423 | 1,792,061 | 30,465,037 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -257 | -323 | -367 | -4,369 | -4,883 | -6,239 | -6,973 | -83,011 | -94,319 | -118,541 | -1,603,423 | -1,792,061 | -30,465,037 |
