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 34,554,485, 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 | 34,554,485 | |
| -1 | -34,554,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,554,485.
Example:
1 x 34,554,485 = 34,554,485
and
-1 x -34,554,485 = 34,554,485
Notice both answers equal 34,554,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,554,485 and divide it by 2:
34,554,485 ÷ 2 = 17,277,242.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,277,242.5 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 | 34,554,485 | |
| -1 | -34,554,485 |
Now, we try dividing 34,554,485 by 3:
34,554,485 ÷ 3 = 11,518,161.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,518,161.6667 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 | 34,554,485 | |
| -1 | -34,554,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,554,485 ÷ 4 = 8,638,621.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,638,621.25 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 | 34,554,485 | |
| -1 | 34,554,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 26,683 | 133,415 | 186,781 | 933,905 | 987,271 | 4,936,355 | 6,910,897 | 34,554,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -26,683 | -133,415 | -186,781 | -933,905 | -987,271 | -4,936,355 | -6,910,897 | -34,554,485 |
