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 34,037,101, 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 | 34,037,101 | |
| -1 | -34,037,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,037,101.
Example:
1 x 34,037,101 = 34,037,101
and
-1 x -34,037,101 = 34,037,101
Notice both answers equal 34,037,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,037,101 and divide it by 2:
34,037,101 ÷ 2 = 17,018,550.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,018,550.5 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 | 34,037,101 | |
| -1 | -34,037,101 |
Now, we try dividing 34,037,101 by 3:
34,037,101 ÷ 3 = 11,345,700.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,345,700.3333 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 | 34,037,101 | |
| -1 | -34,037,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,037,101 ÷ 4 = 8,509,275.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,509,275.25 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 | 34,037,101 | |
| -1 | 34,037,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 101 | 217 | 707 | 1,553 | 3,131 | 10,871 | 21,917 | 48,143 | 156,853 | 337,001 | 1,097,971 | 4,862,443 | 34,037,101 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -101 | -217 | -707 | -1,553 | -3,131 | -10,871 | -21,917 | -48,143 | -156,853 | -337,001 | -1,097,971 | -4,862,443 | -34,037,101 |
