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 34,034,255, 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 | 34,034,255 | |
| -1 | -34,034,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,034,255.
Example:
1 x 34,034,255 = 34,034,255
and
-1 x -34,034,255 = 34,034,255
Notice both answers equal 34,034,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,034,255 and divide it by 2:
34,034,255 ÷ 2 = 17,017,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,017,127.5 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 | 34,034,255 | |
| -1 | -34,034,255 |
Now, we try dividing 34,034,255 by 3:
34,034,255 ÷ 3 = 11,344,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,344,751.6667 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 | 34,034,255 | |
| -1 | -34,034,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,034,255 ÷ 4 = 8,508,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,508,563.75 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 | 34,034,255 | |
| -1 | 34,034,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 2,465 | 13,807 | 69,035 | 234,719 | 400,403 | 1,173,595 | 2,002,015 | 6,806,851 | 34,034,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -2,465 | -13,807 | -69,035 | -234,719 | -400,403 | -1,173,595 | -2,002,015 | -6,806,851 | -34,034,255 |
