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 34,452,535, 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 | 34,452,535 | |
| -1 | -34,452,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 34,452,535.
Example:
1 x 34,452,535 = 34,452,535
and
-1 x -34,452,535 = 34,452,535
Notice both answers equal 34,452,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 34,452,535 and divide it by 2:
34,452,535 ÷ 2 = 17,226,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,226,267.5 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 | 34,452,535 | |
| -1 | -34,452,535 |
Now, we try dividing 34,452,535 by 3:
34,452,535 ÷ 3 = 11,484,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,484,178.3333 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 | 34,452,535 | |
| -1 | -34,452,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
34,452,535 ÷ 4 = 8,613,133.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,613,133.75 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 | 34,452,535 | |
| -1 | 34,452,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 421 | 1,259 | 2,105 | 5,473 | 6,295 | 16,367 | 27,365 | 81,835 | 530,039 | 2,650,195 | 6,890,507 | 34,452,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -421 | -1,259 | -2,105 | -5,473 | -6,295 | -16,367 | -27,365 | -81,835 | -530,039 | -2,650,195 | -6,890,507 | -34,452,535 |
