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 35,141,659, 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 | 35,141,659 | |
| -1 | -35,141,659 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,141,659.
Example:
1 x 35,141,659 = 35,141,659
and
-1 x -35,141,659 = 35,141,659
Notice both answers equal 35,141,659
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,141,659 and divide it by 2:
35,141,659 ÷ 2 = 17,570,829.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,570,829.5 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 | 35,141,659 | |
| -1 | -35,141,659 |
Now, we try dividing 35,141,659 by 3:
35,141,659 ÷ 3 = 11,713,886.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,713,886.3333 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 | 35,141,659 | |
| -1 | -35,141,659 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,141,659 ÷ 4 = 8,785,414.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,785,414.75 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 | 35,141,659 | |
| -1 | 35,141,659 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 163 | 1,141 | 1,621 | 3,097 | 11,347 | 21,679 | 30,799 | 215,593 | 264,223 | 1,849,561 | 5,020,237 | 35,141,659 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -163 | -1,141 | -1,621 | -3,097 | -11,347 | -21,679 | -30,799 | -215,593 | -264,223 | -1,849,561 | -5,020,237 | -35,141,659 |
