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 34,690,877, 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 | 34,690,877 | |
| -1 | -34,690,877 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,690,877.
Example:
1 x 34,690,877 = 34,690,877
and
-1 x -34,690,877 = 34,690,877
Notice both answers equal 34,690,877
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,690,877 and divide it by 2:
34,690,877 ÷ 2 = 17,345,438.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,345,438.5 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 | 34,690,877 | |
| -1 | -34,690,877 |
Now, we try dividing 34,690,877 by 3:
34,690,877 ÷ 3 = 11,563,625.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,563,625.6667 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 | 34,690,877 | |
| -1 | -34,690,877 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,690,877 ÷ 4 = 8,672,719.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,672,719.25 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 | 34,690,877 | |
| -1 | 34,690,877 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 157 | 299 | 739 | 2,041 | 3,611 | 9,607 | 16,997 | 46,943 | 116,023 | 220,961 | 1,508,299 | 2,668,529 | 34,690,877 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -157 | -299 | -739 | -2,041 | -3,611 | -9,607 | -16,997 | -46,943 | -116,023 | -220,961 | -1,508,299 | -2,668,529 | -34,690,877 |
