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 34,042,151, 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 | 34,042,151 | |
| -1 | -34,042,151 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,042,151.
Example:
1 x 34,042,151 = 34,042,151
and
-1 x -34,042,151 = 34,042,151
Notice both answers equal 34,042,151
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,042,151 and divide it by 2:
34,042,151 ÷ 2 = 17,021,075.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,021,075.5 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 | 34,042,151 | |
| -1 | -34,042,151 |
Now, we try dividing 34,042,151 by 3:
34,042,151 ÷ 3 = 11,347,383.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,347,383.6667 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 | 34,042,151 | |
| -1 | -34,042,151 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,042,151 ÷ 4 = 8,510,537.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,510,537.75 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 | 34,042,151 | |
| -1 | 34,042,151 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 101 | 143 | 1,111 | 1,313 | 2,357 | 14,443 | 25,927 | 30,641 | 238,057 | 337,051 | 2,618,627 | 3,094,741 | 34,042,151 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -101 | -143 | -1,111 | -1,313 | -2,357 | -14,443 | -25,927 | -30,641 | -238,057 | -337,051 | -2,618,627 | -3,094,741 | -34,042,151 |
