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 34,451,605, 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 | 34,451,605 | |
| -1 | -34,451,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,451,605.
Example:
1 x 34,451,605 = 34,451,605
and
-1 x -34,451,605 = 34,451,605
Notice both answers equal 34,451,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,451,605 and divide it by 2:
34,451,605 ÷ 2 = 17,225,802.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,225,802.5 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 | 34,451,605 | |
| -1 | -34,451,605 |
Now, we try dividing 34,451,605 by 3:
34,451,605 ÷ 3 = 11,483,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,483,868.3333 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 | 34,451,605 | |
| -1 | -34,451,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,451,605 ÷ 4 = 8,612,901.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,612,901.25 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 | 34,451,605 | |
| -1 | 34,451,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 101 | 505 | 1,717 | 4,013 | 8,585 | 20,065 | 68,221 | 341,105 | 405,313 | 2,026,565 | 6,890,321 | 34,451,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -101 | -505 | -1,717 | -4,013 | -8,585 | -20,065 | -68,221 | -341,105 | -405,313 | -2,026,565 | -6,890,321 | -34,451,605 |
