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 35,100,715, 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 | 35,100,715 | |
| -1 | -35,100,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,100,715.
Example:
1 x 35,100,715 = 35,100,715
and
-1 x -35,100,715 = 35,100,715
Notice both answers equal 35,100,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,100,715 and divide it by 2:
35,100,715 ÷ 2 = 17,550,357.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,550,357.5 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 | 35,100,715 | |
| -1 | -35,100,715 |
Now, we try dividing 35,100,715 by 3:
35,100,715 ÷ 3 = 11,700,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,700,238.3333 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 | 35,100,715 | |
| -1 | -35,100,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,100,715 ÷ 4 = 8,775,178.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,775,178.75 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 | 35,100,715 | |
| -1 | 35,100,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 41 | 65 | 205 | 533 | 2,665 | 13,171 | 65,855 | 171,223 | 540,011 | 856,115 | 2,700,055 | 7,020,143 | 35,100,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -41 | -65 | -205 | -533 | -2,665 | -13,171 | -65,855 | -171,223 | -540,011 | -856,115 | -2,700,055 | -7,020,143 | -35,100,715 |
