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 31,043,425, 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 | 31,043,425 | |
| -1 | -31,043,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 31,043,425.
Example:
1 x 31,043,425 = 31,043,425
and
-1 x -31,043,425 = 31,043,425
Notice both answers equal 31,043,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 31,043,425 and divide it by 2:
31,043,425 ÷ 2 = 15,521,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,521,712.5 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 | 31,043,425 | |
| -1 | -31,043,425 |
Now, we try dividing 31,043,425 by 3:
31,043,425 ÷ 3 = 10,347,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,347,808.3333 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 | 31,043,425 | |
| -1 | -31,043,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
31,043,425 ÷ 4 = 7,760,856.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,760,856.25 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 | 31,043,425 | |
| -1 | 31,043,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 53 | 175 | 265 | 371 | 1,325 | 1,855 | 3,347 | 9,275 | 16,735 | 23,429 | 83,675 | 117,145 | 177,391 | 585,725 | 886,955 | 1,241,737 | 4,434,775 | 6,208,685 | 31,043,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -53 | -175 | -265 | -371 | -1,325 | -1,855 | -3,347 | -9,275 | -16,735 | -23,429 | -83,675 | -117,145 | -177,391 | -585,725 | -886,955 | -1,241,737 | -4,434,775 | -6,208,685 | -31,043,425 |
