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 35,219,503, 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 | 35,219,503 | |
| -1 | -35,219,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,219,503.
Example:
1 x 35,219,503 = 35,219,503
and
-1 x -35,219,503 = 35,219,503
Notice both answers equal 35,219,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,219,503 and divide it by 2:
35,219,503 ÷ 2 = 17,609,751.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,609,751.5 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 | 35,219,503 | |
| -1 | -35,219,503 |
Now, we try dividing 35,219,503 by 3:
35,219,503 ÷ 3 = 11,739,834.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,739,834.3333 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 | 35,219,503 | |
| -1 | -35,219,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,219,503 ÷ 4 = 8,804,875.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,804,875.75 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 | 35,219,503 | |
| -1 | 35,219,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 179 | 341 | 577 | 1,969 | 5,549 | 6,347 | 17,887 | 61,039 | 103,283 | 196,757 | 1,136,113 | 3,201,773 | 35,219,503 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -179 | -341 | -577 | -1,969 | -5,549 | -6,347 | -17,887 | -61,039 | -103,283 | -196,757 | -1,136,113 | -3,201,773 | -35,219,503 |
