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 34,151,299, 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 | 34,151,299 | |
| -1 | -34,151,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,151,299.
Example:
1 x 34,151,299 = 34,151,299
and
-1 x -34,151,299 = 34,151,299
Notice both answers equal 34,151,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,151,299 and divide it by 2:
34,151,299 ÷ 2 = 17,075,649.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,075,649.5 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 | 34,151,299 | |
| -1 | -34,151,299 |
Now, we try dividing 34,151,299 by 3:
34,151,299 ÷ 3 = 11,383,766.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,383,766.3333 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 | 34,151,299 | |
| -1 | -34,151,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,151,299 ÷ 4 = 8,537,824.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,537,824.75 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 | 34,151,299 | |
| -1 | 34,151,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 91 | 203 | 377 | 2,639 | 12,941 | 90,587 | 168,233 | 375,289 | 1,177,631 | 2,627,023 | 4,878,757 | 34,151,299 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -91 | -203 | -377 | -2,639 | -12,941 | -90,587 | -168,233 | -375,289 | -1,177,631 | -2,627,023 | -4,878,757 | -34,151,299 |
