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 35,139,503, 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 | 35,139,503 | |
| -1 | -35,139,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,139,503.
Example:
1 x 35,139,503 = 35,139,503
and
-1 x -35,139,503 = 35,139,503
Notice both answers equal 35,139,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,139,503 and divide it by 2:
35,139,503 ÷ 2 = 17,569,751.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,569,751.5 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 | 35,139,503 | |
| -1 | -35,139,503 |
Now, we try dividing 35,139,503 by 3:
35,139,503 ÷ 3 = 11,713,167.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,713,167.6667 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 | 35,139,503 | |
| -1 | -35,139,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,139,503 ÷ 4 = 8,784,875.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,784,875.75 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 | 35,139,503 | |
| -1 | 35,139,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 47 | 127 | 203 | 329 | 841 | 889 | 1,363 | 3,683 | 5,887 | 5,969 | 9,541 | 25,781 | 39,527 | 41,783 | 106,807 | 173,101 | 276,689 | 747,649 | 1,211,707 | 5,019,929 | 35,139,503 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -47 | -127 | -203 | -329 | -841 | -889 | -1,363 | -3,683 | -5,887 | -5,969 | -9,541 | -25,781 | -39,527 | -41,783 | -106,807 | -173,101 | -276,689 | -747,649 | -1,211,707 | -5,019,929 | -35,139,503 |
