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 35,213,855, 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 | 35,213,855 | |
| -1 | -35,213,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,213,855.
Example:
1 x 35,213,855 = 35,213,855
and
-1 x -35,213,855 = 35,213,855
Notice both answers equal 35,213,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,213,855 and divide it by 2:
35,213,855 ÷ 2 = 17,606,927.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,606,927.5 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 | 35,213,855 | |
| -1 | -35,213,855 |
Now, we try dividing 35,213,855 by 3:
35,213,855 ÷ 3 = 11,737,951.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,737,951.6667 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 | 35,213,855 | |
| -1 | -35,213,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,213,855 ÷ 4 = 8,803,463.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,803,463.75 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 | 35,213,855 | |
| -1 | 35,213,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 79 | 295 | 395 | 1,511 | 4,661 | 7,555 | 23,305 | 89,149 | 119,369 | 445,745 | 596,845 | 7,042,771 | 35,213,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -79 | -295 | -395 | -1,511 | -4,661 | -7,555 | -23,305 | -89,149 | -119,369 | -445,745 | -596,845 | -7,042,771 | -35,213,855 |
