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 34,850,645, 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 | 34,850,645 | |
| -1 | -34,850,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,850,645.
Example:
1 x 34,850,645 = 34,850,645
and
-1 x -34,850,645 = 34,850,645
Notice both answers equal 34,850,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,850,645 and divide it by 2:
34,850,645 ÷ 2 = 17,425,322.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,425,322.5 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 | 34,850,645 | |
| -1 | -34,850,645 |
Now, we try dividing 34,850,645 by 3:
34,850,645 ÷ 3 = 11,616,881.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,616,881.6667 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 | 34,850,645 | |
| -1 | -34,850,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,850,645 ÷ 4 = 8,712,661.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,712,661.25 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 | 34,850,645 | |
| -1 | 34,850,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 97 | 181 | 397 | 485 | 905 | 1,985 | 17,557 | 38,509 | 71,857 | 87,785 | 192,545 | 359,285 | 6,970,129 | 34,850,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -97 | -181 | -397 | -485 | -905 | -1,985 | -17,557 | -38,509 | -71,857 | -87,785 | -192,545 | -359,285 | -6,970,129 | -34,850,645 |
