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 34,336,705, 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 | 34,336,705 | |
| -1 | -34,336,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,336,705.
Example:
1 x 34,336,705 = 34,336,705
and
-1 x -34,336,705 = 34,336,705
Notice both answers equal 34,336,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,336,705 and divide it by 2:
34,336,705 ÷ 2 = 17,168,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,168,352.5 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 | 34,336,705 | |
| -1 | -34,336,705 |
Now, we try dividing 34,336,705 by 3:
34,336,705 ÷ 3 = 11,445,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,445,568.3333 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 | 34,336,705 | |
| -1 | -34,336,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,336,705 ÷ 4 = 8,584,176.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,584,176.25 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 | 34,336,705 | |
| -1 | 34,336,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 19 | 65 | 95 | 247 | 1,235 | 27,803 | 139,015 | 361,439 | 528,257 | 1,807,195 | 2,641,285 | 6,867,341 | 34,336,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -19 | -65 | -95 | -247 | -1,235 | -27,803 | -139,015 | -361,439 | -528,257 | -1,807,195 | -2,641,285 | -6,867,341 | -34,336,705 |
