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 35,426,875, 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 | 35,426,875 | |
| -1 | -35,426,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,426,875.
Example:
1 x 35,426,875 = 35,426,875
and
-1 x -35,426,875 = 35,426,875
Notice both answers equal 35,426,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,426,875 and divide it by 2:
35,426,875 ÷ 2 = 17,713,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,713,437.5 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 | 35,426,875 | |
| -1 | -35,426,875 |
Now, we try dividing 35,426,875 by 3:
35,426,875 ÷ 3 = 11,808,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,808,958.3333 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 | 35,426,875 | |
| -1 | -35,426,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,426,875 ÷ 4 = 8,856,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,856,718.75 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 | 35,426,875 | |
| -1 | 35,426,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 625 | 1,375 | 5,153 | 6,875 | 25,765 | 56,683 | 128,825 | 283,415 | 644,125 | 1,417,075 | 3,220,625 | 7,085,375 | 35,426,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -625 | -1,375 | -5,153 | -6,875 | -25,765 | -56,683 | -128,825 | -283,415 | -644,125 | -1,417,075 | -3,220,625 | -7,085,375 | -35,426,875 |
