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 34,604,263, 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 | 34,604,263 | |
| -1 | -34,604,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,604,263.
Example:
1 x 34,604,263 = 34,604,263
and
-1 x -34,604,263 = 34,604,263
Notice both answers equal 34,604,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,604,263 and divide it by 2:
34,604,263 ÷ 2 = 17,302,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,302,131.5 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 | 34,604,263 | |
| -1 | -34,604,263 |
Now, we try dividing 34,604,263 by 3:
34,604,263 ÷ 3 = 11,534,754.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,534,754.3333 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 | 34,604,263 | |
| -1 | -34,604,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,604,263 ÷ 4 = 8,651,065.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,651,065.75 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 | 34,604,263 | |
| -1 | 34,604,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 61 | 73 | 409 | 1,159 | 1,387 | 4,453 | 7,771 | 24,949 | 29,857 | 84,607 | 474,031 | 567,283 | 1,821,277 | 34,604,263 |
| -1 | -19 | -61 | -73 | -409 | -1,159 | -1,387 | -4,453 | -7,771 | -24,949 | -29,857 | -84,607 | -474,031 | -567,283 | -1,821,277 | -34,604,263 |
