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 34,741,507, 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 | 34,741,507 | |
| -1 | -34,741,507 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,741,507.
Example:
1 x 34,741,507 = 34,741,507
and
-1 x -34,741,507 = 34,741,507
Notice both answers equal 34,741,507
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,741,507 and divide it by 2:
34,741,507 ÷ 2 = 17,370,753.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,370,753.5 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 | 34,741,507 | |
| -1 | -34,741,507 |
Now, we try dividing 34,741,507 by 3:
34,741,507 ÷ 3 = 11,580,502.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,580,502.3333 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 | 34,741,507 | |
| -1 | -34,741,507 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,741,507 ÷ 4 = 8,685,376.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,685,376.75 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 | 34,741,507 | |
| -1 | 34,741,507 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 47 | 71 | 359 | 1,363 | 2,059 | 3,337 | 10,411 | 16,873 | 25,489 | 96,773 | 489,317 | 739,181 | 1,197,983 | 34,741,507 |
| -1 | -29 | -47 | -71 | -359 | -1,363 | -2,059 | -3,337 | -10,411 | -16,873 | -25,489 | -96,773 | -489,317 | -739,181 | -1,197,983 | -34,741,507 |
