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 35,232,439, 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 | 35,232,439 | |
| -1 | -35,232,439 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,232,439.
Example:
1 x 35,232,439 = 35,232,439
and
-1 x -35,232,439 = 35,232,439
Notice both answers equal 35,232,439
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,232,439 and divide it by 2:
35,232,439 ÷ 2 = 17,616,219.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,616,219.5 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 | 35,232,439 | |
| -1 | -35,232,439 |
Now, we try dividing 35,232,439 by 3:
35,232,439 ÷ 3 = 11,744,146.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,744,146.3333 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 | 35,232,439 | |
| -1 | -35,232,439 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,232,439 ÷ 4 = 8,808,109.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,808,109.75 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 | 35,232,439 | |
| -1 | 35,232,439 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 223 | 271 | 583 | 2,453 | 2,981 | 11,819 | 14,363 | 60,433 | 130,009 | 157,993 | 664,763 | 3,202,949 | 35,232,439 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -223 | -271 | -583 | -2,453 | -2,981 | -11,819 | -14,363 | -60,433 | -130,009 | -157,993 | -664,763 | -3,202,949 | -35,232,439 |
