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 34,151,305, 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 | 34,151,305 | |
| -1 | -34,151,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,151,305.
Example:
1 x 34,151,305 = 34,151,305
and
-1 x -34,151,305 = 34,151,305
Notice both answers equal 34,151,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,151,305 and divide it by 2:
34,151,305 ÷ 2 = 17,075,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,075,652.5 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 | 34,151,305 | |
| -1 | -34,151,305 |
Now, we try dividing 34,151,305 by 3:
34,151,305 ÷ 3 = 11,383,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,383,768.3333 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 | 34,151,305 | |
| -1 | -34,151,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,151,305 ÷ 4 = 8,537,826.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,537,826.25 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 | 34,151,305 | |
| -1 | 34,151,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 79 | 155 | 395 | 2,449 | 2,789 | 12,245 | 13,945 | 86,459 | 220,331 | 432,295 | 1,101,655 | 6,830,261 | 34,151,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -79 | -155 | -395 | -2,449 | -2,789 | -12,245 | -13,945 | -86,459 | -220,331 | -432,295 | -1,101,655 | -6,830,261 | -34,151,305 |
