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 34,524,145, 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 | 34,524,145 | |
| -1 | -34,524,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,524,145.
Example:
1 x 34,524,145 = 34,524,145
and
-1 x -34,524,145 = 34,524,145
Notice both answers equal 34,524,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,524,145 and divide it by 2:
34,524,145 ÷ 2 = 17,262,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,262,072.5 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 | 34,524,145 | |
| -1 | -34,524,145 |
Now, we try dividing 34,524,145 by 3:
34,524,145 ÷ 3 = 11,508,048.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,508,048.3333 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 | 34,524,145 | |
| -1 | -34,524,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,524,145 ÷ 4 = 8,631,036.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,631,036.25 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 | 34,524,145 | |
| -1 | 34,524,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 59 | 185 | 295 | 2,183 | 3,163 | 10,915 | 15,815 | 117,031 | 186,617 | 585,155 | 933,085 | 6,904,829 | 34,524,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -59 | -185 | -295 | -2,183 | -3,163 | -10,915 | -15,815 | -117,031 | -186,617 | -585,155 | -933,085 | -6,904,829 | -34,524,145 |
