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 34,945,235, 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 | 34,945,235 | |
| -1 | -34,945,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,945,235.
Example:
1 x 34,945,235 = 34,945,235
and
-1 x -34,945,235 = 34,945,235
Notice both answers equal 34,945,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,945,235 and divide it by 2:
34,945,235 ÷ 2 = 17,472,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,472,617.5 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 | 34,945,235 | |
| -1 | -34,945,235 |
Now, we try dividing 34,945,235 by 3:
34,945,235 ÷ 3 = 11,648,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,648,411.6667 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 | 34,945,235 | |
| -1 | -34,945,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,945,235 ÷ 4 = 8,736,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,736,308.75 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 | 34,945,235 | |
| -1 | 34,945,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 353 | 1,523 | 1,765 | 4,589 | 7,615 | 19,799 | 22,945 | 98,995 | 537,619 | 2,688,095 | 6,989,047 | 34,945,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -353 | -1,523 | -1,765 | -4,589 | -7,615 | -19,799 | -22,945 | -98,995 | -537,619 | -2,688,095 | -6,989,047 | -34,945,235 |
