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 34,541,353, 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 | 34,541,353 | |
| -1 | -34,541,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,541,353.
Example:
1 x 34,541,353 = 34,541,353
and
-1 x -34,541,353 = 34,541,353
Notice both answers equal 34,541,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,541,353 and divide it by 2:
34,541,353 ÷ 2 = 17,270,676.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,270,676.5 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 | 34,541,353 | |
| -1 | -34,541,353 |
Now, we try dividing 34,541,353 by 3:
34,541,353 ÷ 3 = 11,513,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,513,784.3333 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 | 34,541,353 | |
| -1 | -34,541,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,541,353 ÷ 4 = 8,635,338.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,635,338.25 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 | 34,541,353 | |
| -1 | 34,541,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 173 | 1,211 | 1,903 | 2,593 | 13,321 | 18,151 | 28,523 | 199,661 | 448,589 | 3,140,123 | 4,934,479 | 34,541,353 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -173 | -1,211 | -1,903 | -2,593 | -13,321 | -18,151 | -28,523 | -199,661 | -448,589 | -3,140,123 | -4,934,479 | -34,541,353 |
