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 34,211,255, 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 | 34,211,255 | |
| -1 | -34,211,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,211,255.
Example:
1 x 34,211,255 = 34,211,255
and
-1 x -34,211,255 = 34,211,255
Notice both answers equal 34,211,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,211,255 and divide it by 2:
34,211,255 ÷ 2 = 17,105,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,105,627.5 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 | 34,211,255 | |
| -1 | -34,211,255 |
Now, we try dividing 34,211,255 by 3:
34,211,255 ÷ 3 = 11,403,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,403,751.6667 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 | 34,211,255 | |
| -1 | -34,211,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,211,255 ÷ 4 = 8,552,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,552,813.75 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 | 34,211,255 | |
| -1 | 34,211,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 163 | 815 | 2,119 | 3,229 | 10,595 | 16,145 | 41,977 | 209,885 | 526,327 | 2,631,635 | 6,842,251 | 34,211,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -163 | -815 | -2,119 | -3,229 | -10,595 | -16,145 | -41,977 | -209,885 | -526,327 | -2,631,635 | -6,842,251 | -34,211,255 |
