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 34,357,415, 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 | 34,357,415 | |
| -1 | -34,357,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,357,415.
Example:
1 x 34,357,415 = 34,357,415
and
-1 x -34,357,415 = 34,357,415
Notice both answers equal 34,357,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,357,415 and divide it by 2:
34,357,415 ÷ 2 = 17,178,707.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,178,707.5 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 | 34,357,415 | |
| -1 | -34,357,415 |
Now, we try dividing 34,357,415 by 3:
34,357,415 ÷ 3 = 11,452,471.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,452,471.6667 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 | 34,357,415 | |
| -1 | -34,357,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,357,415 ÷ 4 = 8,589,353.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,589,353.75 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 | 34,357,415 | |
| -1 | 34,357,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 503 | 719 | 2,515 | 3,595 | 9,557 | 13,661 | 47,785 | 68,305 | 361,657 | 1,808,285 | 6,871,483 | 34,357,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -503 | -719 | -2,515 | -3,595 | -9,557 | -13,661 | -47,785 | -68,305 | -361,657 | -1,808,285 | -6,871,483 | -34,357,415 |
