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 35,333,831, 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 | 35,333,831 | |
| -1 | -35,333,831 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,333,831.
Example:
1 x 35,333,831 = 35,333,831
and
-1 x -35,333,831 = 35,333,831
Notice both answers equal 35,333,831
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,333,831 and divide it by 2:
35,333,831 ÷ 2 = 17,666,915.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,666,915.5 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 | 35,333,831 | |
| -1 | -35,333,831 |
Now, we try dividing 35,333,831 by 3:
35,333,831 ÷ 3 = 11,777,943.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,777,943.6667 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 | 35,333,831 | |
| -1 | -35,333,831 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,333,831 ÷ 4 = 8,833,457.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,833,457.75 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 | 35,333,831 | |
| -1 | 35,333,831 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 43 | 403 | 559 | 1,333 | 2,039 | 17,329 | 26,507 | 63,209 | 87,677 | 821,717 | 1,139,801 | 2,717,987 | 35,333,831 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -43 | -403 | -559 | -1,333 | -2,039 | -17,329 | -26,507 | -63,209 | -87,677 | -821,717 | -1,139,801 | -2,717,987 | -35,333,831 |
