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 34,640,963, 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 | 34,640,963 | |
| -1 | -34,640,963 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,640,963.
Example:
1 x 34,640,963 = 34,640,963
and
-1 x -34,640,963 = 34,640,963
Notice both answers equal 34,640,963
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,640,963 and divide it by 2:
34,640,963 ÷ 2 = 17,320,481.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,320,481.5 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 | 34,640,963 | |
| -1 | -34,640,963 |
Now, we try dividing 34,640,963 by 3:
34,640,963 ÷ 3 = 11,546,987.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,546,987.6667 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 | 34,640,963 | |
| -1 | -34,640,963 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,640,963 ÷ 4 = 8,660,240.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,660,240.75 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 | 34,640,963 | |
| -1 | 34,640,963 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 83 | 109 | 547 | 581 | 763 | 3,829 | 9,047 | 45,401 | 59,623 | 63,329 | 317,807 | 417,361 | 4,948,709 | 34,640,963 |
| -1 | -7 | -83 | -109 | -547 | -581 | -763 | -3,829 | -9,047 | -45,401 | -59,623 | -63,329 | -317,807 | -417,361 | -4,948,709 | -34,640,963 |
