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 34,221,121, 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 | 34,221,121 | |
| -1 | -34,221,121 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,221,121.
Example:
1 x 34,221,121 = 34,221,121
and
-1 x -34,221,121 = 34,221,121
Notice both answers equal 34,221,121
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,221,121 and divide it by 2:
34,221,121 ÷ 2 = 17,110,560.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,110,560.5 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 | 34,221,121 | |
| -1 | -34,221,121 |
Now, we try dividing 34,221,121 by 3:
34,221,121 ÷ 3 = 11,407,040.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,407,040.3333 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 | 34,221,121 | |
| -1 | -34,221,121 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,221,121 ÷ 4 = 8,555,280.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,555,280.25 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 | 34,221,121 | |
| -1 | 34,221,121 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 59 | 67 | 649 | 737 | 787 | 3,953 | 8,657 | 43,483 | 46,433 | 52,729 | 510,763 | 580,019 | 3,111,011 | 34,221,121 |
| -1 | -11 | -59 | -67 | -649 | -737 | -787 | -3,953 | -8,657 | -43,483 | -46,433 | -52,729 | -510,763 | -580,019 | -3,111,011 | -34,221,121 |
