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 35,325,235, 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 | 35,325,235 | |
| -1 | -35,325,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,325,235.
Example:
1 x 35,325,235 = 35,325,235
and
-1 x -35,325,235 = 35,325,235
Notice both answers equal 35,325,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,325,235 and divide it by 2:
35,325,235 ÷ 2 = 17,662,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,662,617.5 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 | 35,325,235 | |
| -1 | -35,325,235 |
Now, we try dividing 35,325,235 by 3:
35,325,235 ÷ 3 = 11,775,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,775,078.3333 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 | 35,325,235 | |
| -1 | -35,325,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,325,235 ÷ 4 = 8,831,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,831,308.75 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 | 35,325,235 | |
| -1 | 35,325,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 935 | 37,781 | 188,905 | 415,591 | 642,277 | 2,077,955 | 3,211,385 | 7,065,047 | 35,325,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -935 | -37,781 | -188,905 | -415,591 | -642,277 | -2,077,955 | -3,211,385 | -7,065,047 | -35,325,235 |
