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 34,681,375, 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 | 34,681,375 | |
| -1 | -34,681,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,681,375.
Example:
1 x 34,681,375 = 34,681,375
and
-1 x -34,681,375 = 34,681,375
Notice both answers equal 34,681,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,681,375 and divide it by 2:
34,681,375 ÷ 2 = 17,340,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,340,687.5 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 | 34,681,375 | |
| -1 | -34,681,375 |
Now, we try dividing 34,681,375 by 3:
34,681,375 ÷ 3 = 11,560,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,560,458.3333 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 | 34,681,375 | |
| -1 | -34,681,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,681,375 ÷ 4 = 8,670,343.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,670,343.75 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 | 34,681,375 | |
| -1 | 34,681,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 107 | 125 | 535 | 2,593 | 2,675 | 12,965 | 13,375 | 64,825 | 277,451 | 324,125 | 1,387,255 | 6,936,275 | 34,681,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -107 | -125 | -535 | -2,593 | -2,675 | -12,965 | -13,375 | -64,825 | -277,451 | -324,125 | -1,387,255 | -6,936,275 | -34,681,375 |
