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 34,680,605, 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 | 34,680,605 | |
| -1 | -34,680,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,680,605.
Example:
1 x 34,680,605 = 34,680,605
and
-1 x -34,680,605 = 34,680,605
Notice both answers equal 34,680,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,680,605 and divide it by 2:
34,680,605 ÷ 2 = 17,340,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,340,302.5 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 | 34,680,605 | |
| -1 | -34,680,605 |
Now, we try dividing 34,680,605 by 3:
34,680,605 ÷ 3 = 11,560,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,560,201.6667 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 | 34,680,605 | |
| -1 | -34,680,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,680,605 ÷ 4 = 8,670,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,670,151.25 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 | 34,680,605 | |
| -1 | 34,680,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 79 | 95 | 395 | 1,501 | 4,621 | 7,505 | 23,105 | 87,799 | 365,059 | 438,995 | 1,825,295 | 6,936,121 | 34,680,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -79 | -95 | -395 | -1,501 | -4,621 | -7,505 | -23,105 | -87,799 | -365,059 | -438,995 | -1,825,295 | -6,936,121 | -34,680,605 |
