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 34,050,401, 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 | 34,050,401 | |
| -1 | -34,050,401 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,050,401.
Example:
1 x 34,050,401 = 34,050,401
and
-1 x -34,050,401 = 34,050,401
Notice both answers equal 34,050,401
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,050,401 and divide it by 2:
34,050,401 ÷ 2 = 17,025,200.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,025,200.5 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 | 34,050,401 | |
| -1 | -34,050,401 |
Now, we try dividing 34,050,401 by 3:
34,050,401 ÷ 3 = 11,350,133.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,350,133.6667 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 | 34,050,401 | |
| -1 | -34,050,401 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,050,401 ÷ 4 = 8,512,600.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,512,600.25 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 | 34,050,401 | |
| -1 | 34,050,401 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 109 | 763 | 1,199 | 4,057 | 8,393 | 28,399 | 44,627 | 312,389 | 442,213 | 3,095,491 | 4,864,343 | 34,050,401 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -109 | -763 | -1,199 | -4,057 | -8,393 | -28,399 | -44,627 | -312,389 | -442,213 | -3,095,491 | -4,864,343 | -34,050,401 |
