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 35,263,855, 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 | 35,263,855 | |
| -1 | -35,263,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,263,855.
Example:
1 x 35,263,855 = 35,263,855
and
-1 x -35,263,855 = 35,263,855
Notice both answers equal 35,263,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,263,855 and divide it by 2:
35,263,855 ÷ 2 = 17,631,927.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,631,927.5 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 | 35,263,855 | |
| -1 | -35,263,855 |
Now, we try dividing 35,263,855 by 3:
35,263,855 ÷ 3 = 11,754,618.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,754,618.3333 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 | 35,263,855 | |
| -1 | -35,263,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,263,855 ÷ 4 = 8,815,963.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,815,963.75 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 | 35,263,855 | |
| -1 | 35,263,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 145 | 319 | 1,595 | 22,109 | 110,545 | 243,199 | 641,161 | 1,215,995 | 3,205,805 | 7,052,771 | 35,263,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -145 | -319 | -1,595 | -22,109 | -110,545 | -243,199 | -641,161 | -1,215,995 | -3,205,805 | -7,052,771 | -35,263,855 |
