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 34,773,871, 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 | 34,773,871 | |
| -1 | -34,773,871 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,773,871.
Example:
1 x 34,773,871 = 34,773,871
and
-1 x -34,773,871 = 34,773,871
Notice both answers equal 34,773,871
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,773,871 and divide it by 2:
34,773,871 ÷ 2 = 17,386,935.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,386,935.5 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 | 34,773,871 | |
| -1 | -34,773,871 |
Now, we try dividing 34,773,871 by 3:
34,773,871 ÷ 3 = 11,591,290.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,591,290.3333 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 | 34,773,871 | |
| -1 | -34,773,871 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,773,871 ÷ 4 = 8,693,467.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,693,467.75 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 | 34,773,871 | |
| -1 | 34,773,871 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 67 | 319 | 737 | 1,627 | 1,943 | 17,897 | 21,373 | 47,183 | 109,009 | 519,013 | 1,199,099 | 3,161,261 | 34,773,871 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -67 | -319 | -737 | -1,627 | -1,943 | -17,897 | -21,373 | -47,183 | -109,009 | -519,013 | -1,199,099 | -3,161,261 | -34,773,871 |
