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 35,000,603, 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 | 35,000,603 | |
| -1 | -35,000,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,000,603.
Example:
1 x 35,000,603 = 35,000,603
and
-1 x -35,000,603 = 35,000,603
Notice both answers equal 35,000,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,000,603 and divide it by 2:
35,000,603 ÷ 2 = 17,500,301.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,500,301.5 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 | 35,000,603 | |
| -1 | -35,000,603 |
Now, we try dividing 35,000,603 by 3:
35,000,603 ÷ 3 = 11,666,867.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,666,867.6667 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 | 35,000,603 | |
| -1 | -35,000,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,000,603 ÷ 4 = 8,750,150.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,750,150.75 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 | 35,000,603 | |
| -1 | 35,000,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 19 | 187 | 209 | 323 | 3,553 | 9,851 | 108,361 | 167,467 | 187,169 | 1,842,137 | 2,058,859 | 3,181,873 | 35,000,603 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -19 | -187 | -209 | -323 | -3,553 | -9,851 | -108,361 | -167,467 | -187,169 | -1,842,137 | -2,058,859 | -3,181,873 | -35,000,603 |
