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 34,710,073, 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 | 34,710,073 | |
| -1 | -34,710,073 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,710,073.
Example:
1 x 34,710,073 = 34,710,073
and
-1 x -34,710,073 = 34,710,073
Notice both answers equal 34,710,073
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,710,073 and divide it by 2:
34,710,073 ÷ 2 = 17,355,036.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,355,036.5 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 | 34,710,073 | |
| -1 | -34,710,073 |
Now, we try dividing 34,710,073 by 3:
34,710,073 ÷ 3 = 11,570,024.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,570,024.3333 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 | 34,710,073 | |
| -1 | -34,710,073 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,710,073 ÷ 4 = 8,677,518.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,677,518.25 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 | 34,710,073 | |
| -1 | 34,710,073 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 43 | 103 | 461 | 731 | 1,751 | 4,429 | 7,837 | 19,823 | 47,483 | 75,293 | 336,991 | 807,211 | 2,041,769 | 34,710,073 |
| -1 | -17 | -43 | -103 | -461 | -731 | -1,751 | -4,429 | -7,837 | -19,823 | -47,483 | -75,293 | -336,991 | -807,211 | -2,041,769 | -34,710,073 |
