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 35,510,263, 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 | 35,510,263 | |
| -1 | -35,510,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,510,263.
Example:
1 x 35,510,263 = 35,510,263
and
-1 x -35,510,263 = 35,510,263
Notice both answers equal 35,510,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,510,263 and divide it by 2:
35,510,263 ÷ 2 = 17,755,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,755,131.5 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 | 35,510,263 | |
| -1 | -35,510,263 |
Now, we try dividing 35,510,263 by 3:
35,510,263 ÷ 3 = 11,836,754.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,836,754.3333 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 | 35,510,263 | |
| -1 | -35,510,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,510,263 ÷ 4 = 8,877,565.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,877,565.75 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 | 35,510,263 | |
| -1 | 35,510,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 79 | 137 | 193 | 1,343 | 2,329 | 3,281 | 10,823 | 15,247 | 26,441 | 183,991 | 259,199 | 449,497 | 2,088,839 | 35,510,263 |
| -1 | -17 | -79 | -137 | -193 | -1,343 | -2,329 | -3,281 | -10,823 | -15,247 | -26,441 | -183,991 | -259,199 | -449,497 | -2,088,839 | -35,510,263 |
