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 34,322,855, 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 | 34,322,855 | |
| -1 | -34,322,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,322,855.
Example:
1 x 34,322,855 = 34,322,855
and
-1 x -34,322,855 = 34,322,855
Notice both answers equal 34,322,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,322,855 and divide it by 2:
34,322,855 ÷ 2 = 17,161,427.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,161,427.5 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 | 34,322,855 | |
| -1 | -34,322,855 |
Now, we try dividing 34,322,855 by 3:
34,322,855 ÷ 3 = 11,440,951.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,440,951.6667 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 | 34,322,855 | |
| -1 | -34,322,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,322,855 ÷ 4 = 8,580,713.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,580,713.75 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 | 34,322,855 | |
| -1 | 34,322,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 739 | 1,327 | 3,695 | 5,173 | 6,635 | 9,289 | 25,865 | 46,445 | 980,653 | 4,903,265 | 6,864,571 | 34,322,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -739 | -1,327 | -3,695 | -5,173 | -6,635 | -9,289 | -25,865 | -46,445 | -980,653 | -4,903,265 | -6,864,571 | -34,322,855 |
