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 34,381,247, 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 | 34,381,247 | |
| -1 | -34,381,247 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,381,247.
Example:
1 x 34,381,247 = 34,381,247
and
-1 x -34,381,247 = 34,381,247
Notice both answers equal 34,381,247
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,381,247 and divide it by 2:
34,381,247 ÷ 2 = 17,190,623.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,190,623.5 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 | 34,381,247 | |
| -1 | -34,381,247 |
Now, we try dividing 34,381,247 by 3:
34,381,247 ÷ 3 = 11,460,415.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,460,415.6667 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 | 34,381,247 | |
| -1 | -34,381,247 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,381,247 ÷ 4 = 8,595,311.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,595,311.75 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 | 34,381,247 | |
| -1 | 34,381,247 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 59 | 61 | 233 | 2,419 | 2,501 | 3,599 | 9,553 | 13,747 | 14,213 | 147,559 | 563,627 | 582,733 | 838,567 | 34,381,247 |
| -1 | -41 | -59 | -61 | -233 | -2,419 | -2,501 | -3,599 | -9,553 | -13,747 | -14,213 | -147,559 | -563,627 | -582,733 | -838,567 | -34,381,247 |
