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 35,567,515, 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 | 35,567,515 | |
| -1 | -35,567,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,567,515.
Example:
1 x 35,567,515 = 35,567,515
and
-1 x -35,567,515 = 35,567,515
Notice both answers equal 35,567,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,567,515 and divide it by 2:
35,567,515 ÷ 2 = 17,783,757.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,783,757.5 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 | 35,567,515 | |
| -1 | -35,567,515 |
Now, we try dividing 35,567,515 by 3:
35,567,515 ÷ 3 = 11,855,838.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,855,838.3333 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 | 35,567,515 | |
| -1 | -35,567,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,567,515 ÷ 4 = 8,891,878.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,891,878.75 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 | 35,567,515 | |
| -1 | 35,567,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 89 | 257 | 311 | 445 | 1,285 | 1,555 | 22,873 | 27,679 | 79,927 | 114,365 | 138,395 | 399,635 | 7,113,503 | 35,567,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -89 | -257 | -311 | -445 | -1,285 | -1,555 | -22,873 | -27,679 | -79,927 | -114,365 | -138,395 | -399,635 | -7,113,503 | -35,567,515 |
