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 34,621,097, 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 | 34,621,097 | |
| -1 | -34,621,097 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,621,097.
Example:
1 x 34,621,097 = 34,621,097
and
-1 x -34,621,097 = 34,621,097
Notice both answers equal 34,621,097
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,621,097 and divide it by 2:
34,621,097 ÷ 2 = 17,310,548.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,310,548.5 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 | 34,621,097 | |
| -1 | -34,621,097 |
Now, we try dividing 34,621,097 by 3:
34,621,097 ÷ 3 = 11,540,365.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,540,365.6667 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 | 34,621,097 | |
| -1 | -34,621,097 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,621,097 ÷ 4 = 8,655,274.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,655,274.25 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 | 34,621,097 | |
| -1 | 34,621,097 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 41 | 49 | 133 | 287 | 779 | 907 | 931 | 2,009 | 5,453 | 6,349 | 17,233 | 37,187 | 38,171 | 44,443 | 120,631 | 260,309 | 706,553 | 844,417 | 1,822,163 | 4,945,871 | 34,621,097 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -41 | -49 | -133 | -287 | -779 | -907 | -931 | -2,009 | -5,453 | -6,349 | -17,233 | -37,187 | -38,171 | -44,443 | -120,631 | -260,309 | -706,553 | -844,417 | -1,822,163 | -4,945,871 | -34,621,097 |
