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 35,430,125, 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 | 35,430,125 | |
| -1 | -35,430,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,430,125.
Example:
1 x 35,430,125 = 35,430,125
and
-1 x -35,430,125 = 35,430,125
Notice both answers equal 35,430,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,430,125 and divide it by 2:
35,430,125 ÷ 2 = 17,715,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,715,062.5 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 | 35,430,125 | |
| -1 | -35,430,125 |
Now, we try dividing 35,430,125 by 3:
35,430,125 ÷ 3 = 11,810,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,810,041.6667 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 | 35,430,125 | |
| -1 | -35,430,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,430,125 ÷ 4 = 8,857,531.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,857,531.25 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 | 35,430,125 | |
| -1 | 35,430,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 85 | 125 | 425 | 2,125 | 16,673 | 83,365 | 283,441 | 416,825 | 1,417,205 | 2,084,125 | 7,086,025 | 35,430,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -85 | -125 | -425 | -2,125 | -16,673 | -83,365 | -283,441 | -416,825 | -1,417,205 | -2,084,125 | -7,086,025 | -35,430,125 |
