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 35,311,471, 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 | 35,311,471 | |
| -1 | -35,311,471 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,311,471.
Example:
1 x 35,311,471 = 35,311,471
and
-1 x -35,311,471 = 35,311,471
Notice both answers equal 35,311,471
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,311,471 and divide it by 2:
35,311,471 ÷ 2 = 17,655,735.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,655,735.5 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 | 35,311,471 | |
| -1 | -35,311,471 |
Now, we try dividing 35,311,471 by 3:
35,311,471 ÷ 3 = 11,770,490.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,770,490.3333 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 | 35,311,471 | |
| -1 | -35,311,471 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,311,471 ÷ 4 = 8,827,867.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,827,867.75 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 | 35,311,471 | |
| -1 | 35,311,471 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 181 | 349 | 559 | 2,353 | 4,537 | 7,783 | 15,007 | 63,169 | 101,179 | 195,091 | 821,197 | 2,716,267 | 35,311,471 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -181 | -349 | -559 | -2,353 | -4,537 | -7,783 | -15,007 | -63,169 | -101,179 | -195,091 | -821,197 | -2,716,267 | -35,311,471 |
