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 35,241,505, 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 | 35,241,505 | |
| -1 | -35,241,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,241,505.
Example:
1 x 35,241,505 = 35,241,505
and
-1 x -35,241,505 = 35,241,505
Notice both answers equal 35,241,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,241,505 and divide it by 2:
35,241,505 ÷ 2 = 17,620,752.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,620,752.5 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 | 35,241,505 | |
| -1 | -35,241,505 |
Now, we try dividing 35,241,505 by 3:
35,241,505 ÷ 3 = 11,747,168.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,747,168.3333 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 | 35,241,505 | |
| -1 | -35,241,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,241,505 ÷ 4 = 8,810,376.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,810,376.25 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 | 35,241,505 | |
| -1 | 35,241,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 79 | 395 | 1,027 | 5,135 | 6,863 | 34,315 | 89,219 | 446,095 | 542,177 | 2,710,885 | 7,048,301 | 35,241,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -79 | -395 | -1,027 | -5,135 | -6,863 | -34,315 | -89,219 | -446,095 | -542,177 | -2,710,885 | -7,048,301 | -35,241,505 |
