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 35,545,235, 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 | 35,545,235 | |
| -1 | -35,545,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,545,235.
Example:
1 x 35,545,235 = 35,545,235
and
-1 x -35,545,235 = 35,545,235
Notice both answers equal 35,545,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,545,235 and divide it by 2:
35,545,235 ÷ 2 = 17,772,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,772,617.5 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 | 35,545,235 | |
| -1 | -35,545,235 |
Now, we try dividing 35,545,235 by 3:
35,545,235 ÷ 3 = 11,848,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,848,411.6667 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 | 35,545,235 | |
| -1 | -35,545,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,545,235 ÷ 4 = 8,886,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,886,308.75 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 | 35,545,235 | |
| -1 | 35,545,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 55 | 115 | 253 | 1,265 | 28,099 | 140,495 | 309,089 | 646,277 | 1,545,445 | 3,231,385 | 7,109,047 | 35,545,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -55 | -115 | -253 | -1,265 | -28,099 | -140,495 | -309,089 | -646,277 | -1,545,445 | -3,231,385 | -7,109,047 | -35,545,235 |
