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 34,460,615, 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 | 34,460,615 | |
| -1 | -34,460,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,460,615.
Example:
1 x 34,460,615 = 34,460,615
and
-1 x -34,460,615 = 34,460,615
Notice both answers equal 34,460,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,460,615 and divide it by 2:
34,460,615 ÷ 2 = 17,230,307.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,230,307.5 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 | 34,460,615 | |
| -1 | -34,460,615 |
Now, we try dividing 34,460,615 by 3:
34,460,615 ÷ 3 = 11,486,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,486,871.6667 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 | 34,460,615 | |
| -1 | -34,460,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,460,615 ÷ 4 = 8,615,153.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,615,153.75 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 | 34,460,615 | |
| -1 | 34,460,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 57,917 | 289,585 | 405,419 | 984,589 | 2,027,095 | 4,922,945 | 6,892,123 | 34,460,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -57,917 | -289,585 | -405,419 | -984,589 | -2,027,095 | -4,922,945 | -6,892,123 | -34,460,615 |
