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 34,263,761, 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 | 34,263,761 | |
| -1 | -34,263,761 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,263,761.
Example:
1 x 34,263,761 = 34,263,761
and
-1 x -34,263,761 = 34,263,761
Notice both answers equal 34,263,761
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,263,761 and divide it by 2:
34,263,761 ÷ 2 = 17,131,880.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,131,880.5 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 | 34,263,761 | |
| -1 | -34,263,761 |
Now, we try dividing 34,263,761 by 3:
34,263,761 ÷ 3 = 11,421,253.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,421,253.6667 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 | 34,263,761 | |
| -1 | -34,263,761 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,263,761 ÷ 4 = 8,565,940.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,565,940.25 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 | 34,263,761 | |
| -1 | 34,263,761 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 61 | 203 | 427 | 1,769 | 2,767 | 12,383 | 19,369 | 80,243 | 168,787 | 561,701 | 1,181,509 | 4,894,823 | 34,263,761 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -61 | -203 | -427 | -1,769 | -2,767 | -12,383 | -19,369 | -80,243 | -168,787 | -561,701 | -1,181,509 | -4,894,823 | -34,263,761 |
