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 34,265,645, 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 | 34,265,645 | |
| -1 | -34,265,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,265,645.
Example:
1 x 34,265,645 = 34,265,645
and
-1 x -34,265,645 = 34,265,645
Notice both answers equal 34,265,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,265,645 and divide it by 2:
34,265,645 ÷ 2 = 17,132,822.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,132,822.5 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 | 34,265,645 | |
| -1 | -34,265,645 |
Now, we try dividing 34,265,645 by 3:
34,265,645 ÷ 3 = 11,421,881.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,421,881.6667 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 | 34,265,645 | |
| -1 | -34,265,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,265,645 ÷ 4 = 8,566,411.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,566,411.25 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 | 34,265,645 | |
| -1 | 34,265,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 373 | 967 | 1,865 | 4,835 | 7,087 | 18,373 | 35,435 | 91,865 | 360,691 | 1,803,455 | 6,853,129 | 34,265,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -373 | -967 | -1,865 | -4,835 | -7,087 | -18,373 | -35,435 | -91,865 | -360,691 | -1,803,455 | -6,853,129 | -34,265,645 |
