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 34,463,245, 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 | 34,463,245 | |
| -1 | -34,463,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,463,245.
Example:
1 x 34,463,245 = 34,463,245
and
-1 x -34,463,245 = 34,463,245
Notice both answers equal 34,463,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,463,245 and divide it by 2:
34,463,245 ÷ 2 = 17,231,622.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,231,622.5 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 | 34,463,245 | |
| -1 | -34,463,245 |
Now, we try dividing 34,463,245 by 3:
34,463,245 ÷ 3 = 11,487,748.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,487,748.3333 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 | 34,463,245 | |
| -1 | -34,463,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,463,245 ÷ 4 = 8,615,811.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,615,811.25 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 | 34,463,245 | |
| -1 | 34,463,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 281 | 1,291 | 1,405 | 5,339 | 6,455 | 24,529 | 26,695 | 122,645 | 362,771 | 1,813,855 | 6,892,649 | 34,463,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -281 | -1,291 | -1,405 | -5,339 | -6,455 | -24,529 | -26,695 | -122,645 | -362,771 | -1,813,855 | -6,892,649 | -34,463,245 |
