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 35,451,865, 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 | 35,451,865 | |
| -1 | -35,451,865 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,451,865.
Example:
1 x 35,451,865 = 35,451,865
and
-1 x -35,451,865 = 35,451,865
Notice both answers equal 35,451,865
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,451,865 and divide it by 2:
35,451,865 ÷ 2 = 17,725,932.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,725,932.5 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 | 35,451,865 | |
| -1 | -35,451,865 |
Now, we try dividing 35,451,865 by 3:
35,451,865 ÷ 3 = 11,817,288.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,817,288.3333 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 | 35,451,865 | |
| -1 | -35,451,865 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,451,865 ÷ 4 = 8,862,966.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,862,966.25 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 | 35,451,865 | |
| -1 | 35,451,865 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 235 | 257 | 587 | 1,285 | 2,935 | 12,079 | 27,589 | 60,395 | 137,945 | 150,859 | 754,295 | 7,090,373 | 35,451,865 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -235 | -257 | -587 | -1,285 | -2,935 | -12,079 | -27,589 | -60,395 | -137,945 | -150,859 | -754,295 | -7,090,373 | -35,451,865 |
