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 34,276,715, 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 | 34,276,715 | |
| -1 | -34,276,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,276,715.
Example:
1 x 34,276,715 = 34,276,715
and
-1 x -34,276,715 = 34,276,715
Notice both answers equal 34,276,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,276,715 and divide it by 2:
34,276,715 ÷ 2 = 17,138,357.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,138,357.5 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 | 34,276,715 | |
| -1 | -34,276,715 |
Now, we try dividing 34,276,715 by 3:
34,276,715 ÷ 3 = 11,425,571.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,425,571.6667 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 | 34,276,715 | |
| -1 | -34,276,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,276,715 ÷ 4 = 8,569,178.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,569,178.75 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 | 34,276,715 | |
| -1 | 34,276,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 137 | 685 | 1,507 | 4,549 | 7,535 | 22,745 | 50,039 | 250,195 | 623,213 | 3,116,065 | 6,855,343 | 34,276,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -137 | -685 | -1,507 | -4,549 | -7,535 | -22,745 | -50,039 | -250,195 | -623,213 | -3,116,065 | -6,855,343 | -34,276,715 |
