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 35,204,351, 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 | 35,204,351 | |
| -1 | -35,204,351 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,204,351.
Example:
1 x 35,204,351 = 35,204,351
and
-1 x -35,204,351 = 35,204,351
Notice both answers equal 35,204,351
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,204,351 and divide it by 2:
35,204,351 ÷ 2 = 17,602,175.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,602,175.5 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 | 35,204,351 | |
| -1 | -35,204,351 |
Now, we try dividing 35,204,351 by 3:
35,204,351 ÷ 3 = 11,734,783.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,734,783.6667 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 | 35,204,351 | |
| -1 | -35,204,351 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,204,351 ÷ 4 = 8,801,087.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,801,087.75 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 | 35,204,351 | |
| -1 | 35,204,351 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 283 | 1,367 | 1,981 | 3,679 | 9,569 | 17,771 | 25,753 | 124,397 | 386,861 | 2,708,027 | 5,029,193 | 35,204,351 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -283 | -1,367 | -1,981 | -3,679 | -9,569 | -17,771 | -25,753 | -124,397 | -386,861 | -2,708,027 | -5,029,193 | -35,204,351 |
