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 34,014,815, 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 | 34,014,815 | |
| -1 | -34,014,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,014,815.
Example:
1 x 34,014,815 = 34,014,815
and
-1 x -34,014,815 = 34,014,815
Notice both answers equal 34,014,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,014,815 and divide it by 2:
34,014,815 ÷ 2 = 17,007,407.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,007,407.5 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 | 34,014,815 | |
| -1 | -34,014,815 |
Now, we try dividing 34,014,815 by 3:
34,014,815 ÷ 3 = 11,338,271.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,338,271.6667 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 | 34,014,815 | |
| -1 | -34,014,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,014,815 ÷ 4 = 8,503,703.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,503,703.75 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 | 34,014,815 | |
| -1 | 34,014,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 227 | 1,135 | 1,303 | 5,221 | 6,515 | 26,105 | 29,969 | 149,845 | 295,781 | 1,478,905 | 6,802,963 | 34,014,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -227 | -1,135 | -1,303 | -5,221 | -6,515 | -26,105 | -29,969 | -149,845 | -295,781 | -1,478,905 | -6,802,963 | -34,014,815 |
