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 35,435,999, 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 | 35,435,999 | |
| -1 | -35,435,999 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,435,999.
Example:
1 x 35,435,999 = 35,435,999
and
-1 x -35,435,999 = 35,435,999
Notice both answers equal 35,435,999
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,435,999 and divide it by 2:
35,435,999 ÷ 2 = 17,717,999.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,717,999.5 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 | 35,435,999 | |
| -1 | -35,435,999 |
Now, we try dividing 35,435,999 by 3:
35,435,999 ÷ 3 = 11,811,999.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,811,999.6667 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 | 35,435,999 | |
| -1 | -35,435,999 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,435,999 ÷ 4 = 8,858,999.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,858,999.75 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 | 35,435,999 | |
| -1 | 35,435,999 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 43 | 157 | 181 | 1,247 | 4,553 | 5,249 | 6,751 | 7,783 | 28,417 | 195,779 | 225,707 | 824,093 | 1,221,931 | 35,435,999 |
| -1 | -29 | -43 | -157 | -181 | -1,247 | -4,553 | -5,249 | -6,751 | -7,783 | -28,417 | -195,779 | -225,707 | -824,093 | -1,221,931 | -35,435,999 |
