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 34,346,809, 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 | 34,346,809 | |
| -1 | -34,346,809 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,346,809.
Example:
1 x 34,346,809 = 34,346,809
and
-1 x -34,346,809 = 34,346,809
Notice both answers equal 34,346,809
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,346,809 and divide it by 2:
34,346,809 ÷ 2 = 17,173,404.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,173,404.5 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 | 34,346,809 | |
| -1 | -34,346,809 |
Now, we try dividing 34,346,809 by 3:
34,346,809 ÷ 3 = 11,448,936.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,448,936.3333 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 | 34,346,809 | |
| -1 | -34,346,809 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,346,809 ÷ 4 = 8,586,702.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,586,702.25 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 | 34,346,809 | |
| -1 | 34,346,809 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 53 | 301 | 371 | 2,153 | 2,279 | 15,071 | 15,953 | 92,579 | 114,109 | 648,053 | 798,763 | 4,906,687 | 34,346,809 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -53 | -301 | -371 | -2,153 | -2,279 | -15,071 | -15,953 | -92,579 | -114,109 | -648,053 | -798,763 | -4,906,687 | -34,346,809 |
