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 35,036,885, 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 | 35,036,885 | |
| -1 | -35,036,885 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,036,885.
Example:
1 x 35,036,885 = 35,036,885
and
-1 x -35,036,885 = 35,036,885
Notice both answers equal 35,036,885
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,036,885 and divide it by 2:
35,036,885 ÷ 2 = 17,518,442.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,518,442.5 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 | 35,036,885 | |
| -1 | -35,036,885 |
Now, we try dividing 35,036,885 by 3:
35,036,885 ÷ 3 = 11,678,961.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,678,961.6667 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 | 35,036,885 | |
| -1 | -35,036,885 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,036,885 ÷ 4 = 8,759,221.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,759,221.25 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 | 35,036,885 | |
| -1 | 35,036,885 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 97 | 485 | 1,261 | 5,557 | 6,305 | 27,785 | 72,241 | 361,205 | 539,029 | 2,695,145 | 7,007,377 | 35,036,885 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -97 | -485 | -1,261 | -5,557 | -6,305 | -27,785 | -72,241 | -361,205 | -539,029 | -2,695,145 | -7,007,377 | -35,036,885 |
