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 34,381,111, 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 | 34,381,111 | |
| -1 | -34,381,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,381,111.
Example:
1 x 34,381,111 = 34,381,111
and
-1 x -34,381,111 = 34,381,111
Notice both answers equal 34,381,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,381,111 and divide it by 2:
34,381,111 ÷ 2 = 17,190,555.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,190,555.5 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 | 34,381,111 | |
| -1 | -34,381,111 |
Now, we try dividing 34,381,111 by 3:
34,381,111 ÷ 3 = 11,460,370.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,460,370.3333 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 | 34,381,111 | |
| -1 | -34,381,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,381,111 ÷ 4 = 8,595,277.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,595,277.75 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 | 34,381,111 | |
| -1 | 34,381,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 47 | 71 | 3,337 | 10,303 | 484,241 | 731,513 | 34,381,111 |
| -1 | -47 | -71 | -3,337 | -10,303 | -484,241 | -731,513 | -34,381,111 |
