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 34,031,543, 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 | 34,031,543 | |
| -1 | -34,031,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,031,543.
Example:
1 x 34,031,543 = 34,031,543
and
-1 x -34,031,543 = 34,031,543
Notice both answers equal 34,031,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,031,543 and divide it by 2:
34,031,543 ÷ 2 = 17,015,771.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,015,771.5 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 | 34,031,543 | |
| -1 | -34,031,543 |
Now, we try dividing 34,031,543 by 3:
34,031,543 ÷ 3 = 11,343,847.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,343,847.6667 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 | 34,031,543 | |
| -1 | -34,031,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,031,543 ÷ 4 = 8,507,885.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,507,885.75 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 | 34,031,543 | |
| -1 | 34,031,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 367 | 1,019 | 2,569 | 4,771 | 7,133 | 13,247 | 33,397 | 92,729 | 373,973 | 2,617,811 | 4,861,649 | 34,031,543 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -367 | -1,019 | -2,569 | -4,771 | -7,133 | -13,247 | -33,397 | -92,729 | -373,973 | -2,617,811 | -4,861,649 | -34,031,543 |
