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 34,437,571, 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 | 34,437,571 | |
| -1 | -34,437,571 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,437,571.
Example:
1 x 34,437,571 = 34,437,571
and
-1 x -34,437,571 = 34,437,571
Notice both answers equal 34,437,571
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,437,571 and divide it by 2:
34,437,571 ÷ 2 = 17,218,785.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,218,785.5 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 | 34,437,571 | |
| -1 | -34,437,571 |
Now, we try dividing 34,437,571 by 3:
34,437,571 ÷ 3 = 11,479,190.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,479,190.3333 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 | 34,437,571 | |
| -1 | -34,437,571 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,437,571 ÷ 4 = 8,609,392.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,609,392.75 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 | 34,437,571 | |
| -1 | 34,437,571 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 89 | 167 | 331 | 623 | 1,169 | 2,317 | 14,863 | 29,459 | 55,277 | 104,041 | 206,213 | 386,939 | 4,919,653 | 34,437,571 |
| -1 | -7 | -89 | -167 | -331 | -623 | -1,169 | -2,317 | -14,863 | -29,459 | -55,277 | -104,041 | -206,213 | -386,939 | -4,919,653 | -34,437,571 |
