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 34,044,497, 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 | 34,044,497 | |
| -1 | -34,044,497 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,044,497.
Example:
1 x 34,044,497 = 34,044,497
and
-1 x -34,044,497 = 34,044,497
Notice both answers equal 34,044,497
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,044,497 and divide it by 2:
34,044,497 ÷ 2 = 17,022,248.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,022,248.5 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 | 34,044,497 | |
| -1 | -34,044,497 |
Now, we try dividing 34,044,497 by 3:
34,044,497 ÷ 3 = 11,348,165.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,348,165.6667 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 | 34,044,497 | |
| -1 | -34,044,497 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,044,497 ÷ 4 = 8,511,124.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,511,124.25 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 | 34,044,497 | |
| -1 | 34,044,497 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 47 | 53 | 79 | 173 | 2,491 | 3,713 | 4,187 | 8,131 | 9,169 | 13,667 | 196,789 | 430,943 | 642,349 | 724,351 | 34,044,497 |
| -1 | -47 | -53 | -79 | -173 | -2,491 | -3,713 | -4,187 | -8,131 | -9,169 | -13,667 | -196,789 | -430,943 | -642,349 | -724,351 | -34,044,497 |
