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 34,636,415, 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 | 34,636,415 | |
| -1 | -34,636,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,636,415.
Example:
1 x 34,636,415 = 34,636,415
and
-1 x -34,636,415 = 34,636,415
Notice both answers equal 34,636,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,636,415 and divide it by 2:
34,636,415 ÷ 2 = 17,318,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,318,207.5 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 | 34,636,415 | |
| -1 | -34,636,415 |
Now, we try dividing 34,636,415 by 3:
34,636,415 ÷ 3 = 11,545,471.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,545,471.6667 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 | 34,636,415 | |
| -1 | -34,636,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,636,415 ÷ 4 = 8,659,103.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,659,103.75 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 | 34,636,415 | |
| -1 | 34,636,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 47 | 55 | 235 | 517 | 2,585 | 13,399 | 66,995 | 147,389 | 629,753 | 736,945 | 3,148,765 | 6,927,283 | 34,636,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -47 | -55 | -235 | -517 | -2,585 | -13,399 | -66,995 | -147,389 | -629,753 | -736,945 | -3,148,765 | -6,927,283 | -34,636,415 |
