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 34,332,125, 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 | 34,332,125 | |
| -1 | -34,332,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,332,125.
Example:
1 x 34,332,125 = 34,332,125
and
-1 x -34,332,125 = 34,332,125
Notice both answers equal 34,332,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,332,125 and divide it by 2:
34,332,125 ÷ 2 = 17,166,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,166,062.5 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 | 34,332,125 | |
| -1 | -34,332,125 |
Now, we try dividing 34,332,125 by 3:
34,332,125 ÷ 3 = 11,444,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,444,041.6667 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 | 34,332,125 | |
| -1 | -34,332,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,332,125 ÷ 4 = 8,583,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,583,031.25 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 | 34,332,125 | |
| -1 | 34,332,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 457 | 601 | 2,285 | 3,005 | 11,425 | 15,025 | 57,125 | 75,125 | 274,657 | 1,373,285 | 6,866,425 | 34,332,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -457 | -601 | -2,285 | -3,005 | -11,425 | -15,025 | -57,125 | -75,125 | -274,657 | -1,373,285 | -6,866,425 | -34,332,125 |
