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 34,274,201, 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 | 34,274,201 | |
| -1 | -34,274,201 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,274,201.
Example:
1 x 34,274,201 = 34,274,201
and
-1 x -34,274,201 = 34,274,201
Notice both answers equal 34,274,201
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,274,201 and divide it by 2:
34,274,201 ÷ 2 = 17,137,100.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,137,100.5 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 | 34,274,201 | |
| -1 | -34,274,201 |
Now, we try dividing 34,274,201 by 3:
34,274,201 ÷ 3 = 11,424,733.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,424,733.6667 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 | 34,274,201 | |
| -1 | -34,274,201 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,274,201 ÷ 4 = 8,568,550.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,568,550.25 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 | 34,274,201 | |
| -1 | 34,274,201 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 229 | 377 | 397 | 2,977 | 5,161 | 6,641 | 11,513 | 86,333 | 90,913 | 149,669 | 1,181,869 | 2,636,477 | 34,274,201 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -229 | -377 | -397 | -2,977 | -5,161 | -6,641 | -11,513 | -86,333 | -90,913 | -149,669 | -1,181,869 | -2,636,477 | -34,274,201 |
