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 34,143,551, 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 | 34,143,551 | |
| -1 | -34,143,551 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,143,551.
Example:
1 x 34,143,551 = 34,143,551
and
-1 x -34,143,551 = 34,143,551
Notice both answers equal 34,143,551
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,143,551 and divide it by 2:
34,143,551 ÷ 2 = 17,071,775.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,071,775.5 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 | 34,143,551 | |
| -1 | -34,143,551 |
Now, we try dividing 34,143,551 by 3:
34,143,551 ÷ 3 = 11,381,183.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,381,183.6667 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 | 34,143,551 | |
| -1 | -34,143,551 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,143,551 ÷ 4 = 8,535,887.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,535,887.75 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 | 34,143,551 | |
| -1 | 34,143,551 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 137 | 247 | 1,009 | 1,781 | 2,603 | 13,117 | 19,171 | 33,839 | 138,233 | 249,223 | 1,797,029 | 2,626,427 | 34,143,551 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -137 | -247 | -1,009 | -1,781 | -2,603 | -13,117 | -19,171 | -33,839 | -138,233 | -249,223 | -1,797,029 | -2,626,427 | -34,143,551 |
