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 35,012,435, 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 | 35,012,435 | |
| -1 | -35,012,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,012,435.
Example:
1 x 35,012,435 = 35,012,435
and
-1 x -35,012,435 = 35,012,435
Notice both answers equal 35,012,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,012,435 and divide it by 2:
35,012,435 ÷ 2 = 17,506,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,506,217.5 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 | 35,012,435 | |
| -1 | -35,012,435 |
Now, we try dividing 35,012,435 by 3:
35,012,435 ÷ 3 = 11,670,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,670,811.6667 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 | 35,012,435 | |
| -1 | -35,012,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,012,435 ÷ 4 = 8,753,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,753,108.75 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 | 35,012,435 | |
| -1 | 35,012,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 109 | 545 | 1,853 | 3,779 | 9,265 | 18,895 | 64,243 | 321,215 | 411,911 | 2,059,555 | 7,002,487 | 35,012,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -109 | -545 | -1,853 | -3,779 | -9,265 | -18,895 | -64,243 | -321,215 | -411,911 | -2,059,555 | -7,002,487 | -35,012,435 |
