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 34,379,735, 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 | 34,379,735 | |
| -1 | -34,379,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,379,735.
Example:
1 x 34,379,735 = 34,379,735
and
-1 x -34,379,735 = 34,379,735
Notice both answers equal 34,379,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,379,735 and divide it by 2:
34,379,735 ÷ 2 = 17,189,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,189,867.5 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 | 34,379,735 | |
| -1 | -34,379,735 |
Now, we try dividing 34,379,735 by 3:
34,379,735 ÷ 3 = 11,459,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,459,911.6667 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 | 34,379,735 | |
| -1 | -34,379,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,379,735 ÷ 4 = 8,594,933.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,594,933.75 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 | 34,379,735 | |
| -1 | 34,379,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 401 | 1,319 | 2,005 | 5,213 | 6,595 | 17,147 | 26,065 | 85,735 | 528,919 | 2,644,595 | 6,875,947 | 34,379,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -401 | -1,319 | -2,005 | -5,213 | -6,595 | -17,147 | -26,065 | -85,735 | -528,919 | -2,644,595 | -6,875,947 | -34,379,735 |
