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 33,469,429, 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 | 33,469,429 | |
| -1 | -33,469,429 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,469,429.
Example:
1 x 33,469,429 = 33,469,429
and
-1 x -33,469,429 = 33,469,429
Notice both answers equal 33,469,429
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,469,429 and divide it by 2:
33,469,429 ÷ 2 = 16,734,714.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,734,714.5 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 | 33,469,429 | |
| -1 | -33,469,429 |
Now, we try dividing 33,469,429 by 3:
33,469,429 ÷ 3 = 11,156,476.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,156,476.3333 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 | 33,469,429 | |
| -1 | -33,469,429 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,469,429 ÷ 4 = 8,367,357.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,367,357.25 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 | 33,469,429 | |
| -1 | 33,469,429 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 89 | 217 | 623 | 1,733 | 2,759 | 12,131 | 19,313 | 53,723 | 154,237 | 376,061 | 1,079,659 | 4,781,347 | 33,469,429 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -89 | -217 | -623 | -1,733 | -2,759 | -12,131 | -19,313 | -53,723 | -154,237 | -376,061 | -1,079,659 | -4,781,347 | -33,469,429 |
