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 34,324,135, 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 | 34,324,135 | |
| -1 | -34,324,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,324,135.
Example:
1 x 34,324,135 = 34,324,135
and
-1 x -34,324,135 = 34,324,135
Notice both answers equal 34,324,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,324,135 and divide it by 2:
34,324,135 ÷ 2 = 17,162,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,162,067.5 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 | 34,324,135 | |
| -1 | -34,324,135 |
Now, we try dividing 34,324,135 by 3:
34,324,135 ÷ 3 = 11,441,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,441,378.3333 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 | 34,324,135 | |
| -1 | -34,324,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,324,135 ÷ 4 = 8,581,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,581,033.75 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 | 34,324,135 | |
| -1 | 34,324,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 295 | 307 | 379 | 1,535 | 1,895 | 18,113 | 22,361 | 90,565 | 111,805 | 116,353 | 581,765 | 6,864,827 | 34,324,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -295 | -307 | -379 | -1,535 | -1,895 | -18,113 | -22,361 | -90,565 | -111,805 | -116,353 | -581,765 | -6,864,827 | -34,324,135 |
