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 35,426,365, 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 | 35,426,365 | |
| -1 | -35,426,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,426,365.
Example:
1 x 35,426,365 = 35,426,365
and
-1 x -35,426,365 = 35,426,365
Notice both answers equal 35,426,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,426,365 and divide it by 2:
35,426,365 ÷ 2 = 17,713,182.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,713,182.5 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 | 35,426,365 | |
| -1 | -35,426,365 |
Now, we try dividing 35,426,365 by 3:
35,426,365 ÷ 3 = 11,808,788.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,808,788.3333 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 | 35,426,365 | |
| -1 | -35,426,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,426,365 ÷ 4 = 8,856,591.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,856,591.25 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 | 35,426,365 | |
| -1 | 35,426,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 79 | 395 | 1,027 | 5,135 | 6,899 | 34,495 | 89,687 | 448,435 | 545,021 | 2,725,105 | 7,085,273 | 35,426,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -79 | -395 | -1,027 | -5,135 | -6,899 | -34,495 | -89,687 | -448,435 | -545,021 | -2,725,105 | -7,085,273 | -35,426,365 |
