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 34,043,737, 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 | 34,043,737 | |
| -1 | -34,043,737 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,043,737.
Example:
1 x 34,043,737 = 34,043,737
and
-1 x -34,043,737 = 34,043,737
Notice both answers equal 34,043,737
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,043,737 and divide it by 2:
34,043,737 ÷ 2 = 17,021,868.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,021,868.5 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 | 34,043,737 | |
| -1 | -34,043,737 |
Now, we try dividing 34,043,737 by 3:
34,043,737 ÷ 3 = 11,347,912.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,347,912.3333 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 | 34,043,737 | |
| -1 | -34,043,737 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,043,737 ÷ 4 = 8,510,934.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,510,934.25 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 | 34,043,737 | |
| -1 | 34,043,737 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 37 | 91 | 259 | 481 | 3,367 | 10,111 | 70,777 | 131,443 | 374,107 | 920,101 | 2,618,749 | 4,863,391 | 34,043,737 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -37 | -91 | -259 | -481 | -3,367 | -10,111 | -70,777 | -131,443 | -374,107 | -920,101 | -2,618,749 | -4,863,391 | -34,043,737 |
