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 34,472,197, 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 | 34,472,197 | |
| -1 | -34,472,197 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,472,197.
Example:
1 x 34,472,197 = 34,472,197
and
-1 x -34,472,197 = 34,472,197
Notice both answers equal 34,472,197
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,472,197 and divide it by 2:
34,472,197 ÷ 2 = 17,236,098.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,236,098.5 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 | 34,472,197 | |
| -1 | -34,472,197 |
Now, we try dividing 34,472,197 by 3:
34,472,197 ÷ 3 = 11,490,732.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,490,732.3333 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 | 34,472,197 | |
| -1 | -34,472,197 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,472,197 ÷ 4 = 8,618,049.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,618,049.25 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 | 34,472,197 | |
| -1 | 34,472,197 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 43 | 47 | 461 | 1,591 | 1,739 | 2,021 | 17,057 | 19,823 | 21,667 | 74,777 | 733,451 | 801,679 | 931,681 | 34,472,197 |
| -1 | -37 | -43 | -47 | -461 | -1,591 | -1,739 | -2,021 | -17,057 | -19,823 | -21,667 | -74,777 | -733,451 | -801,679 | -931,681 | -34,472,197 |
