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 34,078,523, 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 | 34,078,523 | |
| -1 | -34,078,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,078,523.
Example:
1 x 34,078,523 = 34,078,523
and
-1 x -34,078,523 = 34,078,523
Notice both answers equal 34,078,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,078,523 and divide it by 2:
34,078,523 ÷ 2 = 17,039,261.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,039,261.5 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 | 34,078,523 | |
| -1 | -34,078,523 |
Now, we try dividing 34,078,523 by 3:
34,078,523 ÷ 3 = 11,359,507.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,359,507.6667 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 | 34,078,523 | |
| -1 | -34,078,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,078,523 ÷ 4 = 8,519,630.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,519,630.75 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 | 34,078,523 | |
| -1 | 34,078,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 53 | 109 | 347 | 901 | 1,853 | 5,777 | 5,899 | 18,391 | 37,823 | 98,209 | 312,647 | 642,991 | 2,004,619 | 34,078,523 |
| -1 | -17 | -53 | -109 | -347 | -901 | -1,853 | -5,777 | -5,899 | -18,391 | -37,823 | -98,209 | -312,647 | -642,991 | -2,004,619 | -34,078,523 |
