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 34,198,033, 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 | 34,198,033 | |
| -1 | -34,198,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,198,033.
Example:
1 x 34,198,033 = 34,198,033
and
-1 x -34,198,033 = 34,198,033
Notice both answers equal 34,198,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,198,033 and divide it by 2:
34,198,033 ÷ 2 = 17,099,016.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,099,016.5 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 | 34,198,033 | |
| -1 | -34,198,033 |
Now, we try dividing 34,198,033 by 3:
34,198,033 ÷ 3 = 11,399,344.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,399,344.3333 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 | 34,198,033 | |
| -1 | -34,198,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,198,033 ÷ 4 = 8,549,508.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,549,508.25 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 | 34,198,033 | |
| -1 | 34,198,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 149 | 391 | 587 | 2,533 | 3,427 | 9,979 | 13,501 | 58,259 | 87,463 | 229,517 | 1,486,871 | 2,011,649 | 34,198,033 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -149 | -391 | -587 | -2,533 | -3,427 | -9,979 | -13,501 | -58,259 | -87,463 | -229,517 | -1,486,871 | -2,011,649 | -34,198,033 |
