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 34,320,251, 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 | 34,320,251 | |
| -1 | -34,320,251 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,320,251.
Example:
1 x 34,320,251 = 34,320,251
and
-1 x -34,320,251 = 34,320,251
Notice both answers equal 34,320,251
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,320,251 and divide it by 2:
34,320,251 ÷ 2 = 17,160,125.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,160,125.5 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 | 34,320,251 | |
| -1 | -34,320,251 |
Now, we try dividing 34,320,251 by 3:
34,320,251 ÷ 3 = 11,440,083.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,440,083.6667 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 | 34,320,251 | |
| -1 | -34,320,251 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,320,251 ÷ 4 = 8,580,062.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,580,062.75 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 | 34,320,251 | |
| -1 | 34,320,251 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 83 | 133 | 581 | 1,577 | 3,109 | 11,039 | 21,763 | 59,071 | 258,047 | 413,497 | 1,806,329 | 4,902,893 | 34,320,251 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -83 | -133 | -581 | -1,577 | -3,109 | -11,039 | -21,763 | -59,071 | -258,047 | -413,497 | -1,806,329 | -4,902,893 | -34,320,251 |
