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 34,314,365, 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 | 34,314,365 | |
| -1 | -34,314,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,314,365.
Example:
1 x 34,314,365 = 34,314,365
and
-1 x -34,314,365 = 34,314,365
Notice both answers equal 34,314,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,314,365 and divide it by 2:
34,314,365 ÷ 2 = 17,157,182.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,157,182.5 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 | 34,314,365 | |
| -1 | -34,314,365 |
Now, we try dividing 34,314,365 by 3:
34,314,365 ÷ 3 = 11,438,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,438,121.6667 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 | 34,314,365 | |
| -1 | -34,314,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,314,365 ÷ 4 = 8,578,591.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,578,591.25 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 | 34,314,365 | |
| -1 | 34,314,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 107 | 155 | 535 | 2,069 | 3,317 | 10,345 | 16,585 | 64,139 | 221,383 | 320,695 | 1,106,915 | 6,862,873 | 34,314,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -107 | -155 | -535 | -2,069 | -3,317 | -10,345 | -16,585 | -64,139 | -221,383 | -320,695 | -1,106,915 | -6,862,873 | -34,314,365 |
