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 34,043,095, 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 | 34,043,095 | |
| -1 | -34,043,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,043,095.
Example:
1 x 34,043,095 = 34,043,095
and
-1 x -34,043,095 = 34,043,095
Notice both answers equal 34,043,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,043,095 and divide it by 2:
34,043,095 ÷ 2 = 17,021,547.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,021,547.5 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 | 34,043,095 | |
| -1 | -34,043,095 |
Now, we try dividing 34,043,095 by 3:
34,043,095 ÷ 3 = 11,347,698.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,347,698.3333 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 | 34,043,095 | |
| -1 | -34,043,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,043,095 ÷ 4 = 8,510,773.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,510,773.75 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 | 34,043,095 | |
| -1 | 34,043,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 157 | 785 | 2,551 | 2,669 | 12,755 | 13,345 | 43,367 | 216,835 | 400,507 | 2,002,535 | 6,808,619 | 34,043,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -157 | -785 | -2,551 | -2,669 | -12,755 | -13,345 | -43,367 | -216,835 | -400,507 | -2,002,535 | -6,808,619 | -34,043,095 |
