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 35,352,185, 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 | 35,352,185 | |
| -1 | -35,352,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,352,185.
Example:
1 x 35,352,185 = 35,352,185
and
-1 x -35,352,185 = 35,352,185
Notice both answers equal 35,352,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,352,185 and divide it by 2:
35,352,185 ÷ 2 = 17,676,092.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,676,092.5 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 | 35,352,185 | |
| -1 | -35,352,185 |
Now, we try dividing 35,352,185 by 3:
35,352,185 ÷ 3 = 11,784,061.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,784,061.6667 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 | 35,352,185 | |
| -1 | -35,352,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,352,185 ÷ 4 = 8,838,046.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,838,046.25 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 | 35,352,185 | |
| -1 | 35,352,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 523 | 1,229 | 2,615 | 5,753 | 6,145 | 13,519 | 28,765 | 67,595 | 642,767 | 3,213,835 | 7,070,437 | 35,352,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -523 | -1,229 | -2,615 | -5,753 | -6,145 | -13,519 | -28,765 | -67,595 | -642,767 | -3,213,835 | -7,070,437 | -35,352,185 |
