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 34,427,603, 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 | 34,427,603 | |
| -1 | -34,427,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,427,603.
Example:
1 x 34,427,603 = 34,427,603
and
-1 x -34,427,603 = 34,427,603
Notice both answers equal 34,427,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,427,603 and divide it by 2:
34,427,603 ÷ 2 = 17,213,801.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,213,801.5 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 | 34,427,603 | |
| -1 | -34,427,603 |
Now, we try dividing 34,427,603 by 3:
34,427,603 ÷ 3 = 11,475,867.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,475,867.6667 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 | 34,427,603 | |
| -1 | -34,427,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,427,603 ÷ 4 = 8,606,900.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,606,900.75 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 | 34,427,603 | |
| -1 | 34,427,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 89 | 511 | 623 | 757 | 5,299 | 6,497 | 45,479 | 55,261 | 67,373 | 386,827 | 471,611 | 4,918,229 | 34,427,603 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -89 | -511 | -623 | -757 | -5,299 | -6,497 | -45,479 | -55,261 | -67,373 | -386,827 | -471,611 | -4,918,229 | -34,427,603 |
