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 34,222,013, 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 | 34,222,013 | |
| -1 | -34,222,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,222,013.
Example:
1 x 34,222,013 = 34,222,013
and
-1 x -34,222,013 = 34,222,013
Notice both answers equal 34,222,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,222,013 and divide it by 2:
34,222,013 ÷ 2 = 17,111,006.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,111,006.5 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 | 34,222,013 | |
| -1 | -34,222,013 |
Now, we try dividing 34,222,013 by 3:
34,222,013 ÷ 3 = 11,407,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,407,337.6667 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 | 34,222,013 | |
| -1 | -34,222,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,222,013 ÷ 4 = 8,555,503.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,555,503.25 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 | 34,222,013 | |
| -1 | 34,222,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 89 | 163 | 337 | 623 | 1,141 | 2,359 | 14,507 | 29,993 | 54,931 | 101,549 | 209,951 | 384,517 | 4,888,859 | 34,222,013 |
| -1 | -7 | -89 | -163 | -337 | -623 | -1,141 | -2,359 | -14,507 | -29,993 | -54,931 | -101,549 | -209,951 | -384,517 | -4,888,859 | -34,222,013 |
