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 34,724,755, 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 | 34,724,755 | |
| -1 | -34,724,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,724,755.
Example:
1 x 34,724,755 = 34,724,755
and
-1 x -34,724,755 = 34,724,755
Notice both answers equal 34,724,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,724,755 and divide it by 2:
34,724,755 ÷ 2 = 17,362,377.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,362,377.5 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 | 34,724,755 | |
| -1 | -34,724,755 |
Now, we try dividing 34,724,755 by 3:
34,724,755 ÷ 3 = 11,574,918.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,574,918.3333 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 | 34,724,755 | |
| -1 | -34,724,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,724,755 ÷ 4 = 8,681,188.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,681,188.75 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 | 34,724,755 | |
| -1 | 34,724,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 191 | 955 | 2,483 | 2,797 | 12,415 | 13,985 | 36,361 | 181,805 | 534,227 | 2,671,135 | 6,944,951 | 34,724,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -191 | -955 | -2,483 | -2,797 | -12,415 | -13,985 | -36,361 | -181,805 | -534,227 | -2,671,135 | -6,944,951 | -34,724,755 |
