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 35,156,315, 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 | 35,156,315 | |
| -1 | -35,156,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,156,315.
Example:
1 x 35,156,315 = 35,156,315
and
-1 x -35,156,315 = 35,156,315
Notice both answers equal 35,156,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,156,315 and divide it by 2:
35,156,315 ÷ 2 = 17,578,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,578,157.5 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 | 35,156,315 | |
| -1 | -35,156,315 |
Now, we try dividing 35,156,315 by 3:
35,156,315 ÷ 3 = 11,718,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,718,771.6667 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 | 35,156,315 | |
| -1 | -35,156,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,156,315 ÷ 4 = 8,789,078.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,789,078.75 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 | 35,156,315 | |
| -1 | 35,156,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 109 | 251 | 257 | 545 | 1,255 | 1,285 | 27,359 | 28,013 | 64,507 | 136,795 | 140,065 | 322,535 | 7,031,263 | 35,156,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -109 | -251 | -257 | -545 | -1,255 | -1,285 | -27,359 | -28,013 | -64,507 | -136,795 | -140,065 | -322,535 | -7,031,263 | -35,156,315 |
