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 35,400,715, 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 | 35,400,715 | |
| -1 | -35,400,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,400,715.
Example:
1 x 35,400,715 = 35,400,715
and
-1 x -35,400,715 = 35,400,715
Notice both answers equal 35,400,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,400,715 and divide it by 2:
35,400,715 ÷ 2 = 17,700,357.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,700,357.5 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 | 35,400,715 | |
| -1 | -35,400,715 |
Now, we try dividing 35,400,715 by 3:
35,400,715 ÷ 3 = 11,800,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,800,238.3333 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 | 35,400,715 | |
| -1 | -35,400,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,400,715 ÷ 4 = 8,850,178.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,850,178.75 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 | 35,400,715 | |
| -1 | 35,400,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 59,497 | 297,485 | 416,479 | 1,011,449 | 2,082,395 | 5,057,245 | 7,080,143 | 35,400,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -59,497 | -297,485 | -416,479 | -1,011,449 | -2,082,395 | -5,057,245 | -7,080,143 | -35,400,715 |
