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 34,724,365, 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 | 34,724,365 | |
| -1 | -34,724,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,724,365.
Example:
1 x 34,724,365 = 34,724,365
and
-1 x -34,724,365 = 34,724,365
Notice both answers equal 34,724,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,724,365 and divide it by 2:
34,724,365 ÷ 2 = 17,362,182.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,362,182.5 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 | 34,724,365 | |
| -1 | -34,724,365 |
Now, we try dividing 34,724,365 by 3:
34,724,365 ÷ 3 = 11,574,788.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,574,788.3333 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 | 34,724,365 | |
| -1 | -34,724,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,724,365 ÷ 4 = 8,681,091.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,681,091.25 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 | 34,724,365 | |
| -1 | 34,724,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 1,495 | 23,227 | 116,135 | 301,951 | 534,221 | 1,509,755 | 2,671,105 | 6,944,873 | 34,724,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -1,495 | -23,227 | -116,135 | -301,951 | -534,221 | -1,509,755 | -2,671,105 | -6,944,873 | -34,724,365 |
