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 34,271,035, 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 | 34,271,035 | |
| -1 | -34,271,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,271,035.
Example:
1 x 34,271,035 = 34,271,035
and
-1 x -34,271,035 = 34,271,035
Notice both answers equal 34,271,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,271,035 and divide it by 2:
34,271,035 ÷ 2 = 17,135,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,135,517.5 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 | 34,271,035 | |
| -1 | -34,271,035 |
Now, we try dividing 34,271,035 by 3:
34,271,035 ÷ 3 = 11,423,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,423,678.3333 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 | 34,271,035 | |
| -1 | -34,271,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,271,035 ÷ 4 = 8,567,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,567,758.75 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 | 34,271,035 | |
| -1 | 34,271,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 59 | 115 | 295 | 1,357 | 5,051 | 6,785 | 25,255 | 116,173 | 298,009 | 580,865 | 1,490,045 | 6,854,207 | 34,271,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -59 | -115 | -295 | -1,357 | -5,051 | -6,785 | -25,255 | -116,173 | -298,009 | -580,865 | -1,490,045 | -6,854,207 | -34,271,035 |
