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 34,078,517, 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 | 34,078,517 | |
| -1 | -34,078,517 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,078,517.
Example:
1 x 34,078,517 = 34,078,517
and
-1 x -34,078,517 = 34,078,517
Notice both answers equal 34,078,517
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,078,517 and divide it by 2:
34,078,517 ÷ 2 = 17,039,258.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,039,258.5 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 | 34,078,517 | |
| -1 | -34,078,517 |
Now, we try dividing 34,078,517 by 3:
34,078,517 ÷ 3 = 11,359,505.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,359,505.6667 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 | 34,078,517 | |
| -1 | -34,078,517 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,078,517 ÷ 4 = 8,519,629.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,519,629.25 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 | 34,078,517 | |
| -1 | 34,078,517 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 37 | 73 | 341 | 407 | 803 | 1,147 | 1,369 | 2,263 | 2,701 | 12,617 | 15,059 | 24,893 | 29,711 | 42,439 | 83,731 | 99,937 | 466,829 | 921,041 | 1,099,307 | 3,098,047 | 34,078,517 |
