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 35,044,429, 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 | 35,044,429 | |
| -1 | -35,044,429 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,044,429.
Example:
1 x 35,044,429 = 35,044,429
and
-1 x -35,044,429 = 35,044,429
Notice both answers equal 35,044,429
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,044,429 and divide it by 2:
35,044,429 ÷ 2 = 17,522,214.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,522,214.5 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 | 35,044,429 | |
| -1 | -35,044,429 |
Now, we try dividing 35,044,429 by 3:
35,044,429 ÷ 3 = 11,681,476.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,681,476.3333 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 | 35,044,429 | |
| -1 | -35,044,429 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,044,429 ÷ 4 = 8,761,107.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,761,107.25 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 | 35,044,429 | |
| -1 | 35,044,429 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 289 | 1,019 | 2,023 | 4,913 | 7,133 | 17,323 | 34,391 | 121,261 | 294,491 | 2,061,437 | 5,006,347 | 35,044,429 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -289 | -1,019 | -2,023 | -4,913 | -7,133 | -17,323 | -34,391 | -121,261 | -294,491 | -2,061,437 | -5,006,347 | -35,044,429 |
