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 30,467,059, 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 | 30,467,059 | |
| -1 | -30,467,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 30,467,059.
Example:
1 x 30,467,059 = 30,467,059
and
-1 x -30,467,059 = 30,467,059
Notice both answers equal 30,467,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 30,467,059 and divide it by 2:
30,467,059 ÷ 2 = 15,233,529.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,233,529.5 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 | 30,467,059 | |
| -1 | -30,467,059 |
Now, we try dividing 30,467,059 by 3:
30,467,059 ÷ 3 = 10,155,686.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,155,686.3333 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 | 30,467,059 | |
| -1 | -30,467,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
30,467,059 ÷ 4 = 7,616,764.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,616,764.75 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 | 30,467,059 | |
| -1 | 30,467,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 83 | 287 | 581 | 1,279 | 3,403 | 8,953 | 23,821 | 52,439 | 106,157 | 367,073 | 743,099 | 4,352,437 | 30,467,059 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -83 | -287 | -581 | -1,279 | -3,403 | -8,953 | -23,821 | -52,439 | -106,157 | -367,073 | -743,099 | -4,352,437 | -30,467,059 |
