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 35,081,459, 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 | 35,081,459 | |
| -1 | -35,081,459 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,081,459.
Example:
1 x 35,081,459 = 35,081,459
and
-1 x -35,081,459 = 35,081,459
Notice both answers equal 35,081,459
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,081,459 and divide it by 2:
35,081,459 ÷ 2 = 17,540,729.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,540,729.5 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 | 35,081,459 | |
| -1 | -35,081,459 |
Now, we try dividing 35,081,459 by 3:
35,081,459 ÷ 3 = 11,693,819.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,693,819.6667 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 | 35,081,459 | |
| -1 | -35,081,459 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,081,459 ÷ 4 = 8,770,364.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,770,364.75 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 | 35,081,459 | |
| -1 | 35,081,459 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 59 | 173 | 413 | 491 | 1,211 | 3,437 | 10,207 | 28,969 | 71,449 | 84,943 | 202,783 | 594,601 | 5,011,637 | 35,081,459 |
| -1 | -7 | -59 | -173 | -413 | -491 | -1,211 | -3,437 | -10,207 | -28,969 | -71,449 | -84,943 | -202,783 | -594,601 | -5,011,637 | -35,081,459 |
