How do I find the factor combinations of the number 35,330,047?

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 35,330,047, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 35,330,047
-1 -35,330,047

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,330,047.

Example:
1 x 35,330,047 = 35,330,047
and
-1 x -35,330,047 = 35,330,047
Notice both answers equal 35,330,047

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,330,047 and divide it by 2:

35,330,047 ÷ 2 = 17,665,023.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,665,023.5 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 35,330,047
-1 -35,330,047

Now, we try dividing 35,330,047 by 3:

35,330,047 ÷ 3 = 11,776,682.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,776,682.3333 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 35,330,047
-1 -35,330,047

Let's try dividing by 4:

35,330,047 ÷ 4 = 8,832,511.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,832,511.75 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 35,330,047
-1 35,330,047
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

123431392579893,1975,9115,97711,05135,723137,471254,173821,6291,536,08935,330,047
