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 35,530,385, 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 | 35,530,385 | |
| -1 | -35,530,385 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,530,385.
Example:
1 x 35,530,385 = 35,530,385
and
-1 x -35,530,385 = 35,530,385
Notice both answers equal 35,530,385
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,530,385 and divide it by 2:
35,530,385 ÷ 2 = 17,765,192.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,765,192.5 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 | 35,530,385 | |
| -1 | -35,530,385 |
Now, we try dividing 35,530,385 by 3:
35,530,385 ÷ 3 = 11,843,461.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,843,461.6667 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 | 35,530,385 | |
| -1 | -35,530,385 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,530,385 ÷ 4 = 8,882,596.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,882,596.25 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 | 35,530,385 | |
| -1 | 35,530,385 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 547 | 1,181 | 2,735 | 5,905 | 6,017 | 12,991 | 30,085 | 64,955 | 646,007 | 3,230,035 | 7,106,077 | 35,530,385 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -547 | -1,181 | -2,735 | -5,905 | -6,017 | -12,991 | -30,085 | -64,955 | -646,007 | -3,230,035 | -7,106,077 | -35,530,385 |
