How do I find the factor combinations of the number 35,080,061?

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 35,080,061, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 35,080,061
-1 -35,080,061

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,080,061.

Example:
1 x 35,080,061 = 35,080,061
and
-1 x -35,080,061 = 35,080,061
Notice both answers equal 35,080,061

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,080,061 and divide it by 2:

35,080,061 ÷ 2 = 17,540,030.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,540,030.5 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 35,080,061
-1 -35,080,061

Now, we try dividing 35,080,061 by 3:

35,080,061 ÷ 3 = 11,693,353.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,693,353.6667 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 35,080,061
-1 -35,080,061

Let's try dividing by 4:

35,080,061 ÷ 4 = 8,770,015.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,770,015.25 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 35,080,061
-1 35,080,061
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

11719673231,1391,2731,62121,64127,55730,799108,607523,5831,846,3192,063,53335,080,061
