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 34,744,915, 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 | 34,744,915 | |
| -1 | -34,744,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,744,915.
Example:
1 x 34,744,915 = 34,744,915
and
-1 x -34,744,915 = 34,744,915
Notice both answers equal 34,744,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,744,915 and divide it by 2:
34,744,915 ÷ 2 = 17,372,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,372,457.5 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 | 34,744,915 | |
| -1 | -34,744,915 |
Now, we try dividing 34,744,915 by 3:
34,744,915 ÷ 3 = 11,581,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,581,638.3333 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 | 34,744,915 | |
| -1 | -34,744,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,744,915 ÷ 4 = 8,686,228.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,686,228.75 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 | 34,744,915 | |
| -1 | 34,744,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 71 | 97 | 355 | 485 | 1,009 | 5,045 | 6,887 | 34,435 | 71,639 | 97,873 | 358,195 | 489,365 | 6,948,983 | 34,744,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -71 | -97 | -355 | -485 | -1,009 | -5,045 | -6,887 | -34,435 | -71,639 | -97,873 | -358,195 | -489,365 | -6,948,983 | -34,744,915 |
