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 34,378,883, 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 | 34,378,883 | |
| -1 | -34,378,883 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,378,883.
Example:
1 x 34,378,883 = 34,378,883
and
-1 x -34,378,883 = 34,378,883
Notice both answers equal 34,378,883
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,378,883 and divide it by 2:
34,378,883 ÷ 2 = 17,189,441.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,189,441.5 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 | 34,378,883 | |
| -1 | -34,378,883 |
Now, we try dividing 34,378,883 by 3:
34,378,883 ÷ 3 = 11,459,627.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,459,627.6667 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 | 34,378,883 | |
| -1 | -34,378,883 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,378,883 ÷ 4 = 8,594,720.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,594,720.75 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 | 34,378,883 | |
| -1 | 34,378,883 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 37 | 77 | 121 | 259 | 407 | 847 | 1,097 | 2,849 | 4,477 | 7,679 | 12,067 | 31,339 | 40,589 | 84,469 | 132,737 | 284,123 | 446,479 | 929,159 | 3,125,353 | 4,911,269 | 34,378,883 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -37 | -77 | -121 | -259 | -407 | -847 | -1,097 | -2,849 | -4,477 | -7,679 | -12,067 | -31,339 | -40,589 | -84,469 | -132,737 | -284,123 | -446,479 | -929,159 | -3,125,353 | -4,911,269 | -34,378,883 |
