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 34,810,559, 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 | 34,810,559 | |
| -1 | -34,810,559 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,810,559.
Example:
1 x 34,810,559 = 34,810,559
and
-1 x -34,810,559 = 34,810,559
Notice both answers equal 34,810,559
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,810,559 and divide it by 2:
34,810,559 ÷ 2 = 17,405,279.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,405,279.5 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 | 34,810,559 | |
| -1 | -34,810,559 |
Now, we try dividing 34,810,559 by 3:
34,810,559 ÷ 3 = 11,603,519.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,603,519.6667 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 | 34,810,559 | |
| -1 | -34,810,559 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,810,559 ÷ 4 = 8,702,639.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,702,639.75 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 | 34,810,559 | |
| -1 | 34,810,559 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 101 | 371 | 707 | 929 | 5,353 | 6,503 | 37,471 | 49,237 | 93,829 | 344,659 | 656,803 | 4,972,937 | 34,810,559 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -101 | -371 | -707 | -929 | -5,353 | -6,503 | -37,471 | -49,237 | -93,829 | -344,659 | -656,803 | -4,972,937 | -34,810,559 |
